Hi Bense, always impressive if someone does play around with wires and solders to me. It could have me posses an even cheaper powerfull PC if I could. I do like to get the best out of second hand machines instead of getting the latest ones. So that is something we do have incommon. We also have the XW8600 mobo incommon.
As in the post before this one, I've tried (for no reason i think) to upgrade my LSISAS controller but I failed. I've posted my problem somewhere here in the HP forum. But now it seems the (IBM) firmware is the same but has something hardcoded as to which portnumber to use. In the original FW it was 11 and now it has become 17 and my OS cannot find my controller anymore eventhough it starts up the right way.
In the other post people redirected me to this post to ask you, if you d see a chance to create a backup of the LSISAS controller so that I can use that to reload the original. I cannot seem to find any FW files for it on the HP site.
I hope you can help me (or us).
