I had to go over to livejournal and hand edit the last post make it sane, which isn’t going to help in the long-term. This might be the last cross-posted entry for the time being whilst I search for a solution.

But, guess what, the drivers aren’t compatible with Snow Leopard despite the pretty product page stating “v10.4.5 or later”.

So, I query LaCie support who manage the the entirely lame

We are aware of compatibility issues with the LaCie eSATA PCI Express Card and Snow Leopard. At this time the latest update available is from 07 Jul 2008 and no current ETA as to when an update will be made available.

And then rather disingenuously suggest rebooting might be required.

All they need now is to suggest turning it off and on again and this bingo card is full.

I’ve corrected image links on this year’s posts over on livejournal, but the older ones will have to stay broken for the time being.

And now an edit to see if the cross-posting works again.
