Hey everyone, I got a used ioDrive2 duo from e-bay and it has an issue I am trying to resolve. It is only starting up in minimal mode, due to "Device is missing midprom data" according to fio-status. I am running 3.2.8 which supports this card. In case it was a firmware mis-match, I tried flashing it, but it doesn't like that either. I googled around, but the only info I could find was to call HP or ($OEM) support if one saw that message, can anyone please help, perhaps @acquacow ?
