Hi, all.
I'm running an Ultra 66 Acard to do the same job. After a recent ROM flash
upgdate I discovered it is no longer necessary to reformat the drives: all
ATA drives can be read both by the motherboard and the Acard. Check Sonnet
for a ROM flash update for yours. The catch is all drives on the card must
be unplugged before flashing new ROM.
There has been even a more recent ROM update for my Acard that will make it
OS X compatible. Oh, well; if and when...
