From what I can tell, Nor did you have a 164SX. ;) From the product brief at http://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/Digital/info/semiconductor/literature/164sxpb.pdf it certainly sounds like a 164sx -- 1MB Bcache, Cypress Super I/O, etc. I don't know whats up with the "Quanta, Atom server" line. Normand, in regard to your SCSI problems. The 2940 (and most U/W scsi cards) can only use 2 of their 3 connectors (2 68pin OR 1 68pin and 1 50 pin) without running into problems. Are you using only 2 connectors? The FreeBSD Adaptec driver used to yell at you if you violated this rule and connected up all three ports.
