No guarantees, but I've done so twice. Both cards had an "AHA-2940UW" sticker on the controller chip, both were unrecognizable when first installed, and both took the Adaptec firmware update (4.1?) without argument. I've been using them for years ever since. Regrettably, I haven't been able to do the same with any AHA-2940U2W cards. (I can live with this because UW is plenty fast for the basic digital video I've done lately.) Hope this helps. -Kennedy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
