It was touted as being a bug in the chip, but then that could have been political :). I do know that I tore my hair out over the project, tried the Microsoft patch, and then shortly after that, threw out the board and went with another vendor (and in the meantime talked the customer into SCSI). As far as getting a patch -> doubtful at best... Anyone? Good luck
