Today i'd found the right position for usb-bracked header :D It's in front of LAN connector. LAN must be at 12 o'clock! Connector has 4 pin only, plug 5 pin. right side first black wire must be "on air". left side red wire on pin 4. For first test i'd use a modyfied usb-plug with an LED and a resist...

Hello, that's the reason, why Adaptec version 3.10 take back. :wink: For short time it was official downlodable. So, wat's wrong? In my opinion it's the checksum in EEPROM, the small 93C46 corrupt. The new BIOS code will interprete the stored informations other, but the checksum to calculate the int...
