Right. The "driver" in question is the SCSI Manager 4.3, which is a functional part of all pre-X MacOSes after 7.6. But, it takes special Mac-specific firmware ... in the card ... to support MacOS. >> You have to remove and resolder 2 resistors on the board and even then they sometimes don't work ... >> It's up to five component deletions and up to ten component additions, on some boards. >> ... that's why I won't get into detail on the process involved. >> Nor will I. FWIW, the easiest card to "divert" is the ACARD, as ACARD actually makes a FLASHer which is designed for this specific purpose. The second easiest card to "divert" is the Promise Ultra66, which went to End Of Life a loooooong time ago, and which has been out of stock in the distributor network for quite a while. Plus, there are several revisions of the Promise card, and each requires a different set of quite similar mods. Peter. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
