Does it look OK?
(No ROM, see the image, no protection).

FCode wasn't loaded yet as I wanted to fix what is broken.
So far, this is the best performance. The original SImage driver is slightly better on reads (200), but much worse on writes and panics.

But here is a catch: even that 3124 64-bit card can't increase the performance to the levels we desire.

"Mystic" is probably worst of the worse:

- It has a non-standard FCode
- It has PCI-X slots wired the way that there is almost no PCI-X card is really working, only Vitesse + SImage 3124 + "Frodo".
All other Macs prior and post doing it better (LSI SAS cards, PCI-PCIx adapters, etc. can be installed - "Mystic" will not start even with a dummy PCIx-PCIx riser if the voltage is not strict
- Flashing Promise cards is a pain in the @ss, almost no PC-based Promise cards are recognized. No problem with other Macs.

I am thinking to buy a Quicksilver, found one near Heilbronn and will drive to the area soon. It's over 100 Euro tough
