    I posted this question in the OSX forum, but havent got an answer yet. So I try here as well. I have a 733mhz G4, and have just upgraded to Tiger from OS 10.2.8.
    In 10.2.8 I used to have a SCSI-RAID with 4 SCSI-disks for my Media100 video media, a RAID set up with the ATTO ExpressStripe 1.2 software, trough an ATTO UL2S adapter.
    I had a suspicion this RAID would not work after upgrading, so I backed up all the video media on the SCSI-drives. Or so i tought. Now I realize I forgot one project, and the SCSI drives don`t show up in 10.4.3 since the ATTO adapter is not OK with Tiger. A new adapter and new RAID SW is on its way, so that`s not the problem. The problem is the M100 media on the SCSI-disks. Is that lost forever? Even if I temporarily roll back to 10.2.8? Can I “roll back”, or was Tiger a full install? Any chance that the old RAID will show up in Tiger after installing the new ATTO SCSI-adapter?

    If you did nothing to the array (like initializing the drives) a reinstall of 10.2.8 should give you access to your media files again. There is no way to “roll back” to 10.2.8 except reinstalling it, e.g. to another partition or to an external FireWire drive.

    This depends on how you striped these drives. Did you use the ATTO software? What

    Thanks.
    I did nothing to the SCSI-drives before installing Tiger. The RAID was set up 3 years ago, and I

    If you used Apple DiskUtility the array should show up with the new adapter. Why do you want to use the ATTO software? We have only good experiences with DiskUtility.

    Then I`ll just try to install and hope it shows up.

    Why ATTO sw? hmmm…. maybe just because I already paid a fortune for it 🙁
    No, I tought the existing RAID was set up with ATTO when ordering the new sw. I
