My Seritek is one of the very first that does not support "deep sleep" without sending it to Giga for a fix and I run my computer 24/7 or somedays if I am going to be away for days I just do a shutdown. I'd like to have the "deep sleep" option.

- The "deep sleep" cannot be fixed via firmware upgrade, it's a combined Apple + Silicon Image (the maker of the SATA chip) issue and requires a minor hardware modification of the card. Once modified, the machine will wake up properly. Only Digital Audio and QuickSilver machines are involved.
Any ideas on what the mentioned mod is?
