Hi, as suggested on this list, you have to download the 2940UW 4.1 flash utility from the Macgurus ftp site. The Adaptec site says these PC cards won't work on a Mac, but with this utility mine was flashed correctly and works. However, I couldn't get the synchronous mode (checked with Adaptec PowerDomain Control) unless I open first the Atto Express Pro utility (that scans the SCSI buses). I don't know the reason for this.
