That wasn't Neal that you were corresponding with, was it? That's the Sonnet guy I couldn't convince that the S900 lower slot problem is different from the G4/Dual Bandit problem. On the one hand, in your case, it is reasonable for him not to trade you down to a Tempo 66. Reports on XLR8yourmac.com, IIRC, indicate that it is not a great card for ATAPI support (or am I confusing it with the older ATA33 card?). On the other hand, he's completely confused about playing DVD movies on our older machines. Mine plays them great with just a 200 MHz 604e and a Wired4DVD card.
