It sounds like you had the cards installed in an older machine before installing them in your new Mac. It's probably the SCSI card. If you still have the older mac model around that the SCSI card worked with, I would just install the SCSI card back into that machine and update the ATTO firmware version. Once installed back in your older mac, use the ATTO Express PCI utility to check the current firmware version, then go to the ATTO web site to see if there is a firmware update available for download. You did not specify which ATTO card you have, but I am using the ATTO PSC (single channel) card and it's firmware is at 1.6.6u, and it works fine with my Quicksilver 2002 model. Hope this helps.
