Re: [Avid-L2] OT: Sonnet Express34 SATA Card No Longer Working After Upgrade To Lion

Well, I'm still not having any luck. The indicator lights on the Sonnet card flash and blink like they're in the game, but the eSATA drive still won't mount. And even more mysteriously, I can see the drive in Disc Utility, but I still can't mount it.

I've run OnyX and I've cleaned caches and I've reinstalled drivers, but no joy. I've tried different eSATA drives, but still nothing. It's very very frustrating.

So I have a dumb question… Is the Express34 card at ATA bus? I ask because when I check the system profiler, it says that I don't have any ATA devices installed -- which is plainly not true, since Disc Utility can see the freakin' drive!

I'm truly at a loss here.
