Rene,

That card is soooooo old.. it also looks like it was available only for the European market: "Ava-2904 and Ava-2904cd are products, which are sold exclusively on the European market." There are some drivers available for 2000/98/95 and even DOS and windows 3.x..

If that card had a BIOS on it (Ctrl-A) on POST and you can see your hdd's in the bios then it is a OS/Driver issue..

Ciao,
Greg

hi
also slow down the transfer rate of the HBA to 20 MB, this should solve lots of these problems
