My two-penneth. I've a DAC960PL D040-345 that originally had firmware v2.35. I got the v2.73 PL firmware off the web and successfully flashed the card. It still reports the "no mailbox" problem, with 4.0-S as of a couple of days ago. This backs up your 960PL observation, but shows that -345 can be flashed. I'm still confused as to the FBSD RAID solution of choice, as the Mylex isn't working either. I take it if I got a brand new DAC960, it'd work fine? Cheers.
