Well.... Update? on Sil3132 driver

I've got an eSATA Expresscard 34 from Apiotek with uses Silicon Image driver, based on the post I found in another thread (See Below), I did reinstall the 1.1.9 driver from Silicon Image. Both my eSATA drives are now visible, with seemingly no ill effect at the moment. Given the fact that Apple has said this is incompatible, I'm not sure I'm going to trust it, especially on one of the drives.

For those though that went ahead and did the update to their main boot drives and can't revert back, perhaps a way to access some of your data..

+I've got a Sil3132-based Addonics eSATA controller ( http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/adsa3gpx1-2em.asp ). SL removed the driver for it during installation because it was "incompatible". However, I retrieved an older reference driver (v1.1.9) directly from Silicon Image ( http://www.siliconimage.com/support/searchresults.aspx?pid=32&cat=3&os=3 ), installed it, and that has me up and running. No kernel panics.++

is there anyway to check which driver is in use? I've installed the Sonnet driver over an older Addonics (S1) driver, but I don't know if it overwrote the original. This is all in preparation for 10.6, I'm still waiting for other software to update before I can move up. The following is the only info that I get on the pci card from the profiler:

thanks
