Suddenly the Mac 733 G4 system is seeing the ProTools HD card as a "PCI-bridge"
and of course that means ProTools won't run. Moving the card to a different
slot, removing the other PCI cards (ATTO SCSI UL3D HBA), re-installing ATTO
drivers, nothing makes a difference.

We recently did a clean install (new system disk) of OS 10.3.8 and ProTools TDM
6.9 and things worked but with increasingly frequent crashes. The ATTO driver
was one version behind (3.10) and updating it to 3.20 was the last thing before
the core card disappeared.

Anyone had this happen? (Let's see who's faster: r.a.p. or Digidesign...)

The TDM cards are usually reported as pci-bridge, but with several logical units
identified that are not there now. It also appears the manufacturer's code
reported is different from the MIX+ system. Hmmm.
