I have no idea but apparently Quicksilver are really picky with PCI cards in general. It could be tight timings on the initialization or a broken logic where if the card doesn't answer properly the whole Mac hangs instead of just ignoring it and carrying on with the boot process. It would be...

Yeah Adaptec is a good brand name so it's not surprising the card is good. The issue with the Quicksilver and the cheap black cards is so silly, never seen something like it, but oh well I'm glad I found this Adaptec card for cheap and locally. These cheap SATA cards are awesome also for...

Since the patched firmware is from a SeriTek card once flashed every card is displayed as a Seri-Tek152 but since it's actually an Adaptec 1210SA it'll be nice to see that shown in System Profiler. Just a trivial aesthetic thing of course

Ah thank you. I'll let it be then, I'll just not look at the System Profiler too much... I got the card today and it works perfectly so thanks for your work on patching the firmware and flasher

Just for the heck of it I tried modding one of those cheap SiI3112 cards that wasn't working at all in my QuickSilver after reading that the cause is the slow 3.3V regulator making the 1.8V feeding off of it lag just enough to break things...

I ended up buying an Adaptec 1210SA, purely for aesthetic reasons is it possible to edit the strings in the rom file so they match the card and you get the correct data displayed by the OS? In other words can I straight up edit those strings with an hex editor or are there checksums involved?

Thank you for your amazing work. I'm planning to upgrade a PowerMac G4 and since I already have a SiI3114 card can I use your patched firmware with that instead of buying a Sil3112 card (losing 2 ports wouldn't be an issue)?
