So lighten up please... They are obviously working for some people, but enough people are seeing the same problem over and over that there is definitely something wrong. I spent a good deal of time gathering the requested traces for the de- veloper who was working on it with me, going so far as to purchase a dif- ferent board (same model, different firmware) and a second adapter card, and tried all of the above in multiple systems. I then sent off the re- quested info, re-iterated my offer of remote access to one of the systems showing the problem, and heard... nothing. A follow-up some months later also got no response, while more and more people are running into the is- sue and reporting it either on the lists or in the forums. My offer of a test system with the card is still open, if someone wants to pick this up again. I will note that in my case, it only happens in my Supermicro systems (but again, Linux works well with it on those boxes). The SM961 in the same adapter works fine in a Dell system, and an Optane card also works fine in the Supermicro system. Terry Kennedy http://www.glaver.org New York, NY USA
