Hi,

Works fine for me with 9.0-p3 with the same controller, slight firmware differences:

mfi0: 2709 (boot + 4s/0x0020/info) - Firmware version 2.120.244-1482
mfi0: 2710 (boot + 5s/0x0020/info) - Package version 20.10.1-0077
mfi0: 2711 (boot + 5s/0x0020/info) - Board Revision 04A

I will be trying out 9.1-BETA on a new batch of machines next week ...

Regards,

Jan.
