Can't use the Mac Con card, seems a capacitor is broken, i'll start another thread to find out if i can replace it and what value it needs to have:
Did you (start another thread)? I have one of those cards, so should be able to take a pic or two to help.

Not yet, i'm still tweaking my 3d print setup for RaSCSI, that takes some time, and i have another problem with a Q650.
If you are able to get a picture of the capacitor in question i would be grateful.

However, the printing on these is extremely tiny, i doubt you will be able to read something, i couldn't. 😉

Well sure... but you need to let me know 'where' I'm looking - there are LOADs of those tiny critters!

Good news, they are identical...

...looks like a 22uF, 16V tantalum 'bead' capacitor.
