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

You might be able to flash them like other cards, but you need a special utility to do so
What kind of card, function?
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.
