That E100 is, as you know, a combo card, the SCSI accelerator portion is actually an FWB Jackhammer. The driver for the Jackhammer was never developed beyond a certain point... 1999 perhaps? In any event, since the driver loads at startup each and every time instead of, for example, residing on a Flash ROM on the Jackhammer itself, it's stuck in 1999. If the ethernet portion works under OS X, well, that's pretty amazing, but definitely good news. If you said that the SCSI portion worked under OS X, I'd break out the single malt Scotch and celebrate. I feel a bit guilty, I'm actually enjoying a wee drop right now anyway. =) -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
