Hello,

Well, then there's hope. If it were stock AIX I'd be rather sceptical.

True, in this case it will show up as /something/pcixxx,yyy without any
useful words defined.

Well, I have a PowerStack II with a 604e and FirmWorks OF (running AIX)
- I've yet to see a Mac PCI card that gets properly recognized by the
firmware. But if the ANS ran Apple-OF there's indeed hope.

Hmm, Adaptec made RAID-cards with Apple-OF support.
I guess you tried the stuff found on http://www.shiner.info/?files/Raid

have fun
