The retail version of the 2930 is upgraded by replacing the PROM chip. Adaptec would send out an upgrade PROM chip to owners of retail cards if they were experiencing sleep problems. They may still be able to send that for you, but the last time I did this for a 2930 was about 4 years ago. Later versions of the 2930 also have a jumper connection in the middle of the card near the PROM socket. This was used to handle differences between the original PCI bus PowerMacs and the so-called New World ones. The installation guide tells how and when to jumper this connection. The 2930B Apple/OEM versions have a Apple specific version PROM soldered to the board and have no jumper. Later, the 2930 cards for BTO G4's were identical to the 2930CU retail versions, but do not have a TIL number sticker to get support from Adaptec.
