Default Re: 4100 - LBA48 support

The 1st step would be to read the chips, so extract them and send them to me. Then I will send the code to anyone wanting it. This should be Intel Hex Code.

This will not go any further unless some one can re-program the chip. But it may be better to setup a switch or hub to capture traffic to and from the 4100 while you change the 48 bit flag. This will give some idea of where to look.

I think we have a means to write the code back to the 4100. Using the std sup file.

Another option would be to get a std bios setup in it and run FreeNAS (Freebsd 6.1).
