Garbage

I knew the 39160 had issues over a year ago. The hard drives would lock up during data transfers. I went through two new hard drives, one motherboard, three 39160s' and a completely new G4, the lockup issue is still there. I gave up and threw the card away.

Garbage (is eBay cash)

I agree. i spoke to Tech Support at Adaptec (Roxio) and the guy even went to the trouble to tell me that Atto is partnered with Apple (some contractual item). So any card that will work with the Mac is going to be ATTO. It was frustrating to me as we have two 39160 (one in a box) and two 29160n cards. That's about $1500. Some lucky individuals on ebay got them (for quite less).
The good news: the ATTO cards have been running 24/7, 9 months, and no problems to an Exabyte EZ17 Autoloader and Dantz retrospect.
If Adaptec doesn't get cooperation from Apple, then its time to dump the cards and get ATTO brand. :(
