Have a look at this Apple KB article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25176
(or search for 'MacOS X SCSICard Updater' at
http://www.info.apple.com/).
It seems MacOS X needs an updated firmware on the Apple OEN FW-SCSI
card. I did perform the upgrade, but I can't remember what te symptom
of my problem was.
Also, the link I remembered in my previous mail is this one:
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/SCSI/atto_oem_flashrom_tip.html
But I don't know what was so interesting about it :-)
Cheers
Michel
