Last Questions about Atto....I hope
Hey Steve
Got my Atto card[used] and want to Upgrade the FirmWare, But when I run the Update it tells me "No PCI Express cards were Updated"? I was also wondering How I can Find out the current FirmWare version? If it's at 1.1.1 I won't be worried. The card is reconized by the Express ProTools app and by FWB 3.0.2! Only thing Express PTs says about the card is that it is a rev F I was told by someone that I might have to Update the FirmWare on a PC then Reinstall it in my MAC???? Is the a Possibility. Thanks Steve and I hope you New Year was brought in safe and Happy ------------------ [email protected] <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">quote:<HR>The Greatest Risk in Life is Doing Nothing<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Re: Last Questions about Atto....I hope
OK this is the Update!
The card Was an APPLE G3 SCSI card with Apple Firmware in it! I guess that's where the Symbios comes from?? So I was able to DownLoad the PC Version of the Firmware from Atto put the SCSI Card in one of my PCs and upgraded the Firmware in DOS!!! Took the card put it in my MAC and ZOOOOOM everything is there FirmWare and SyncRate!!!!!! Thanks Again Steve for your help with this fiasco!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Last Questions about Atto....I hope
Hi Dog,
If all of your drives are mounting without issue with FWB 3.0.2 drivers, then you're in good shape. Launch ExpressPro-Tools and look at the SCSI card information. You can get this by double-clicking on the SCSI card in the Device window (left pane). It's the boldfaced line of type. Actually, if you look at the bus in the Device window, it will show you the firmware revision on the right margin. It'll look like this: 0111, or 0133, etc. When you double-click on the bus, you'll get the Bus Information window. This will tell you which version of the card you've got. Let me know what it says. That'll tell us which firmware to use to update the card (unless it's already up-to-date). New Year's Eve was quiet, but definitely a happy occasion. I hope the same for you. --Steve Rosenthal, Digidesign ETS

Re: Last Questions about Atto....I hope
Ah, it was an Apple OEM version from a Beige G3. That's why we don't support the OEM models -- too many "gotchas."
Anyway, I'm glad you got things up and running. Keep me posted. ------------------ --Steve Rosenthal, Digidesign ETS

Re: Last Questions about Atto....I hope
Hey Dog you were able to Take a Apple[atto] SCSI Card and place it in a PC and flash the Firmware, in turn it is now a Fully functional Atto PCI PCS Express card?
I've seen these cards go for as Little as $50 let me know thanks ------------------ [email protected] <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">quote:<HR>Long Live Nubus and TI<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> |

Re: Last Questions about Atto....I hope
That's Right NuBus!!!!
I payed 50 Bucks for the card plus I needed to buy a Cable! The Card was Brand New still sealed!!!! Why would a NuBus need a PCI Card¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
