The 9.1 ASP in 7500 displays basically the same info for my card except I need to upgrade the firmware to 1.6.4f0 before I put it in the B&W.

(As an earlier lister described, this may flash the firmware back to ATTO from what the Apple OEM cards had... don't really know, though). You can't always assume that the latest firmware is always what is best for your hardware. The installer launches Classic and this is all it says. Option Action ------ ------ 1 Update only ExpressPCI UL2Ds with older firmware versions 2 Update all ExpressPCI UL2Ds unconditionally 3 Do not update Enter option [1]: >> This is very true. I flashed my ATTO card to the latest firmware just after I purchased it last year. Then I had to downgrade the firmware back to what is was when I it to make it work with OS 9.1 and a 7500 G3/466. Fortunately ATTO support promptly sent the older firmware I requested. I suggest before you flash the card to new firmware take note of what the present firmware is. Of course there are no guarantees when the OEM says the card is not supported. --glen (still stuck in archive mode, soon to switch to another Email address) -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
