Yes: A) http://www.siig.com/product.asp?catid=76&pid=437 B) http://www.siig.com/product.asp?catid=76&pid=439 There is also a jumper available on my SIIG sil0680 board, to switch between those two behaviors {unfortunately is it impossible for me to determine, wheter I have A) or B), because I apparently removed the sticker on its down side for some unknown reason}. I do not know, if (un)setting JP1 OPEN=IDE SHORT=RAID truly changes the internal behaviour of my board, or if it only and alone defined, how the board identifies itself to the pci bus (the ID). There even seem to exist several different other flavours here and there: http://search-desc.ebay.com/sil0680_W0QQcatrefZC6QQflocZ1QQfromZR10QQfrtsZ50QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQftsZ2QQsacatZQ2d1QQsaprchiZQQsaprcloZQQsaslcZ2 Do you have that jumper on your board? Also take into account the following please: #0.) My experience was SPARC only, not x86 at all #1.) I didn't know what I know today in terms of, whether or not the recently added (over a year ago) Solaris_sparc support includes LBA48 (and therefore "big disks"), or not. --->> Obviously not! I used the opportunity to test that first, a few months ago when I purchased an additional hdd (Seagate 250GB, ata133), before I eventually put that disk into a USB/ieee1394a combo enclosure for use via ieee1394 on a sb2k (do the that [or USB2.0], if you can [that is, if you don't need that drive to be bootable]). So LBA48 does not appear to be supported on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Only ca. 128GB or so were recognized, no matter whatever I tried inside the format utility. Just in order to correct myself after circa a year ...
