this might sound irrelevant, but I have seen problems with adaptec cards as
well in some cases. Further poking revealed the following:
between the 4 and 6 pin sockets…
host | Target
-------±--------
4 | 6 Works
6 | 6 Works
6 | 4 Doesn’t work
4 | 4 Didn’t try out
For best results try the 6 - 6 configuration.
hope this helps
