me too
SOOOoooo....
i have the bytecc expresscard with a lacie d2 sata II drive, and i'm having a lot of the same issues you guys are having, plus my card only shows up half the time (the lights also dont turn on). I've tried both SI drivers, and even tried some other card manufacturer's drivers which use the same chipset, but they're all pretty much the same. When i initially booted with the card, it didnt show up, and when i spun up my hard drive, the lacie showed up for about 30 seconds, and my computer asked if i wanted to use the lacie for time machine, after which the "hardware disconnect" message popped up and both the drive and card disappeared from ASP
after reading posts about compatibility with 10.5.1 and 10.5.2, i decided to try it...and the result is
The card wreaked ultimate havoc with 10.5.1 showing up in ASP something like 30 times before causing a kernel panic.
In 10.5.2, the drive did the same thing as it did in my normal 10.5.3...it showed up for 30 seconds (and the light on the card turned on for 30 seconds) and hasnt show up since...though now, the card stays in ASP, until i try to spin up the hard drive, after which then a kernel panic results (10.5.3 didnt even recognize the card)....
For now, I'm just trying to figure out what to do with FCP until my sata drive will work with my laptop...its like a refugee....waiting for a nice HDD to install in.
I just ordered a CalDigit expresscard out of desperation...itll probably yield similar results, but i figure its worth a try...i'll keep you guys posted
