Hi Weblacky,

selling flashed SAS3442's is not really a viable prospect from Australia, as they cost about AUS $100 each from here and you have to pay postage on top of that as well.

Then there is the fact that there is no assuring the version of board you might get and a total prospect of 10 - 20 sales at best.

The main interest in these board seems to come from the "Unraid" users who did most of discovery work on the RAID to HBA flipping.

Happy to post information for use by interested SGI'ers so they can flash the cards themselves.

Should anyone wants me to flash their board, just PM me and I will do it for $30 + Postage.

For the cost and effort of getting equipment and testing of Dallas chips for Chimera based machines, I would much rather just buy 8 x chips all nicely done by Glitchworks ;-)

Keeping these SGI machines going is labour of love ;-)

Cheers from Oz,


John
