Need help flashing IBM M1015 to IT mode

[Fritz]

I followed these instructions from the forum to the letter. When I get to the last line that sets the SAS address I get "Invalid command -SASADD". Now the M1015 has no SAS Address.

Convert LSI9240(IBM M1015) to a LSI9211-IT mode
Type in the following exactly:
megarec -writesbr 0 sbrempty.bin
megarec -cleanflash 0
<reboot, back to USB stick >
sas2flsh -o -f 2118it.bin -b mptsas2.rom (sas2flsh -o -f 2118it.bin if OptionROM is not needed)
sas2flsh -o -sasadd 500605bxxxxxxxxx (x= numbers for SAS address)
<reboot>
Done!

Help please.

Crap. Nevermind, after trying it the 20th time it worked. Hard to believe I made a typo that many times but stranger things have happened.

If only there was an updated bios for that issue, seems like humans have had the same buggy bios since around 3200 B.C. (Before Computers)

Yea, Think I'll stick with the Perc H310's from now on. They're easy to flash and the connectors are at the end of the card where they belong.

What is the performance difference between the 2?

It's the same as far as I can tell. They're both based on the LSI 2008 chip.
