Strangely enough just switching drives now I can see all ten, weird but =

I'm confused why you are referring to a JMB393s if my card has a =
siis3124 chip....or are you referring o the PMs?

This was for an individual drive.

I was expecting more but it looks like I was wrong with my assumptions.=20=
