5 out of 5 eggsRE: Can't boot from connected devices

Pros: Nice, simple, fast, bootable IF correct BIOS is installed

Cons: Nowhere was the information on what the correct BIOS is.

Other Thoughts: Looks like the company will soon update their manuals and FAQs to account for this glaring omission. Given that, the card really does what it is supposed to do and I don't have anything bad to say about it.

1 out of 5 eggsCan't boot from connected devices

Pros: Nice, simple, fast, but...

Cons: Tried on multiple Mac Pro computers and it could not see any devices during boot time (Alt key down). Tried with a new controller just in case (bought 4 of them) - the same result. Not visible during boot.

Other Thoughts: Not sure how it passed through the door with a sticker "Boots on all Mac Pro systems out of the box" when it does not.
