Hello !

After 2.1.5R was released i tryed to install it on HP Netserver LC with
embedded AIC7770 host adapter. But Userconfig program has no EISA Adaptek cards
in it's list. ( I've issue '-c' at boot prompt, then 'list' command. )

Definitely i have good version of boot.flp because i take 5 copies from
different sites. Also i checked 2.2-960612-SNAP. There also no AHA2742.

May be i have very buggy HP computer ( but it runs 2.1.5 with AHA1542 just fine ). 
Thinking so i try to check 2.1.5 on my robust old computer. It runs 2.1R very good and 
there is original Adaptek 2742 in EISA slot. Absolutely same sympthoms - no  ahc device 
in list.

Booting 2.1R boot.flp on 'new' HP LC with AIC7770 gives full success. Aic7770 detected 
and works.

Below are summary :

----------------------------------------
 Adapter      2.1R    2.1.5R   2.2 SNAP
----------------------------------------
 aic7770       ok       no       no
 aha2742       ok       no       no
 aha1542       ok       no       no
----------------------------------------

Main QUESTION : Do you forget to delete AHA2742 from HARDWARE.TXT ? :-)
Or it is only my problem ?

Thank you.

Sergey
