guys, guys guys!!!!! I am not the soldering ace you guys are. I really don't care if it works under macos or not. What I was wondering was if the pc version of the card (which is much more easy to find cheap) would interfere with the s900 booting macos off of another internal bus. Sometimes the s900 has its own little pci quirks, and I was wondering if either of you had managed to boot into macos with the pc card installed(not off of the card). I can get drivers for linux and netbsd for the 2940uw to drive the ultrawide drives that I have. I can't for the E100. The E100 firmware messes with the open source drivers for the qlogic chips as well as adding another bridge for the networking part of the card to the pci bus. The dec chips on the E100 networking side don't seem to play very nicely either with open source in umax's implementation. I knew from earlier posts to the list that the mac card had a bigger flash area to store the firmware and that one of you had an article on xlr8 on how to replace the chip. I was hoping that in one of these endeavors that you could tell me if the machine would boot with a pc card installed(still pc), or if one of those little firmware gotchas prevented that from occuring.The experience on this list is a wonderful resource to draw upon.
