I did a little more experimentation and the card is fine as long as I don't connect any drives to it. Sigh. It shows up in Apple System Profiler and everything. I did some searching and it appears that folks are using these with 9600s so I would expect it to work in the S900 upper slots. On the other hand, there's also a lot of discussion about flashing them to the Atto ver. 1.5 firmware, so maybe that's necessary. I'm reluctant to go that route without more information though, because there is no flasher available to take one back to the Apple firmware. Figuring that the problem could be my cable--maybe it works fine in single-ended mode with the 2940UW, but balks at working in LVD mode with the UL2D, I installed a 2940U2B. That worked fine, except that I had to pull the VST card out because of the incompatibility, so that's not a permanent solution. Still, it implies that my cable is okay, unless the UL2D is more demanding of cable quality than the 2940U2B. So I put the 2940UW back in and will post some inquiries in various forums, I guess. It could be my cable...but it's an AMP cable and terminator and they make pretty good stuff. Jeff -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
