Some bad news with the 3112 card in both my QS and DA. While both the cards I modded showed up and did operate with an existing drive in place, trying to install Leopard on a SATA drive attached to the cards led to kernel panics right after getting past the first couple of screens onto selecting a disk to install on.
Not sure how to capture a log when it doing an installation to a fresh drive so I have no idea what is causing the crash apart from trying to detect a drive. This happened with both cards in both machines and I swapped the SATA disk in case there was a hardware issue there too. I still got the black Restart Notice of Death every time.
Not sure, what driver you used. If it was my driver, it DOES have bugs.
I am working on an update, not merely to enable the "unsupported" ROM-s.
If all you did to "mod" the card was the Micrel regulator, you are fine, just please wait for the update.
The update will also enable the hot-swap on all cards, it was disabled by intent on the cards with internal connectors only.
An other update: the hot-swap dialog will be gone forever. The underlying API (KUNC, KernelUser Notification) was deprecated by Apple and even hooks within the OS removed.
They have it even now, but only for themselves.
That means, a driver code in order to be kept functional for a longer time can't have these calls.
Sorry for being late and lazy, it was quite a bad period of time behind us.
