The card is a 4-port "Acer Labs M5237 Aladdin-V ALI". I will post a pic of the card and the box if anyone else is interested.


Nice to hear. Did you test with USB2 mass storage also?
I have massive problems with ALi USB2 chipsets on Prometheus (reworked firmware), the ALi works for a period of time, and drops dead afterwards, without any indication why.

For the same price of ALi you usually get NEC USB2 cards, which work (from my experience, taken one full day with LHA tests on a USB2 harddisk) very reliable.

When could we expect to be able to use the new firmware? It could bring new life to my Prometheus and I could remove some cards...


We are evaluating the details at the moment, so stay tuned.
Our beta testers reported no further errors.
