Acard 67160M, 67162M; Anyone Have One of These?

[trag]

I found some cheap PC versions of these cards. I was wondering if anyone has the Macintosh version. Or more directly, knows how to convert the PC version to the Mac version.

You might be able to flash them like other cards, but you need a special utility to do so

They are Ultra160 SCSI cards. Dual channel -- or they can be if one installs the missing connector. Also, IIRC, some flavor of enhanced PCI, so might get a performance boost in an MDD or G5.

On Acard's UltraATA cards there's always a couple of resistors that need. moving/replacing in addition to the firmware switch. Their SCSI cards might only need the firmware, but I'm not confident of that.

I don't need a special utility. I'm happy to pull the Flash chip off and program it. But I need the code that goes on the Flash chip....

Was the optional SCSI card of the Digital Audio generation OEM'd by ACARD? That I know I have on hand . . . somewhere?

I don't know. Apple tended to use Adaptec, although. I think there was a run of Initio Miles U2W cards. I wonder if Everymac would say.

Searching Google and reading everymac turns up many mentions of a SCSI option but no specification of what card was used. I think it was an Atto, not I M as I said above because I found some OEM Atto U160 cards for sale.

I should be able to check when I get back home next week if they really have installed the main living area carpet.
