Ok. I gave up on getting ARC going on the PC164 and went back to the DS20, and this time I appear to have gotten it right. Apart from the *(^%&^% power routing inside the chassis, which makes it impossible to use the lower six or so PCI slots for long cards. 8( I should be more or less in business now, anyway.
