Interesting… we have:

Apple RAID card in slot 4
K3 in Slot 3
open slot 2
Nvidia 8800GT in slot 1

Which Kona drivers are you running? I’ve tried 5.1 and 5.1NDD.

Mitch

We are running the NDD drivers.

We had to move the ATTO Card out of slot 4 because it was not working properly in the 16x slot (an ATTO driver/firmware issue). The KONA is a 4x card an it appears to work in any slot. Since slot 2 and 3 are fixed at 4x, but share the cam bus, we moved to KONA to slot 4. So nothing is shared on the slot 2-3 bus.

The Apple RAID card requires slot 4, as it connects to the MB using a short cable. AJA confirmed that slot 3 was fine, in fact they recommended it…

Strange world…
