I think too that different bios flash version have different settings for
enabling/disabling parity (and other things) that can make a difference.
The latest on their webpage is 1.34. I understand the firmware which the
driver downloads at load time still uses certain bits from the version
flashed to the card. Somewhere around bios 1.2x (where x was something
high..it's been a while) I had some hangs go away. All the new cards
I've gotten appear to ship with ancient BIOS's and sorely need flashing.
