Hi

I have an older ADS raid box, the API-910.

It has two hot swappable trays for hard drives.

I recently replaced the board in the back (two rows of FW 400 ports linked by a small 6pin to 6pin FW cable) with a firewire 800 board I bought from cooldrives.

Chaos ensued.

I had two WD 120 drives in the two trays, which were both 1/2 paritioned. I lost the paritions, and went through hell recovering the data.

FInally, I got it all back, reformatted the drives, and here's the problem:

I can only get ONE drive to read at a time. I tried it on two computers (a G5 1.6 and an older G4 450DP) and same thing. So I swapped the FW800 card back with the old FW400 and it's the same issue, only one tray at a time will read.

Please advise.

(I ran disk utility, repaired permissions, ran the HARDWARE UTILITY on the Jaguar disk. Everything comes up OK.)

THANKS!
