However since that posting at least two people on the XPFacto list swear they have
the first 8gb issue with an ACARD ATA card. I seem to remember that it was the
133 model but not sure with current track record ;-). I discounted the first person as
being mistaken but then a second person reported the issue. Both swear the only
way they can get OSX to run is to follow the first 8 GB rule. So worth trying even
though it's not a widely reported issue. I've no idea why only some people have the
issue.
It was my understanding that one of the Acard cards uses firmware written by FirmTEK whereas the others don't. Or was it that one of them uses a Promise chipset and the others don't. My memory is no great shakes either.
Anyway, I'd look for that one card model that had either a different firmware author or chip designer and see if that's the one with the issues similar to issues we see with the VST card which uses a Promise chipset and the firmware for which was written by FirmTEK.
