Ok, I've finally gotten a PCI serial ATA card that worked. I flashed my drive with the GaryOPA 7in 1 version 2.1

Here's the details. This card works on Hitachi Drives

Drive - Hitachi 59DJ
PCI SATA Card - Adaptec ASH-1205 (you can get it from BestBuy here in the US for $49.99)
Slax CD to put in modeB


Everything works fine. Originals boot perfectly. My backups won't work because I have a Sony DRU 810a DL burner. I'll get a Pioneer burner soon and be on my way.

try using the new birdy flasher with the geremia tweak, ull have to remove ur garyopa for the geremia patch to work properly ive heard.

The geremia patch should allow ur drive to play ur backup discs without bitsetting for dvd-roms. tell me how it goes

I would, but I can't find the darn thing. But my burner does support booktyping to DVD-ROM. I've heard alot of people say things about the Birdy Flasher bricking their drives that's why I haven't tried it as well as not being able to locate it. I'll try again to find it and I'll let you know.

Found it. It actually worked. Thank GOD I didn't brick this 59DJ. I heard so much about the birdy flasher bricking drives that I was terrified to try it.
