Is yours an on-board solution on a SuperMicro motherboard? Mine is a 
stand-alone PCI card, no firmware to be had on their site.

I was running an older firmware when I started down this road, and recently 
flashed it up to the latest I could find on Adaptec's web site (1.62), still 
no dice. I don't think I should need anything newer than what's on the 
manufacturer's web site, especially for a card that is a few years old...
