You did :-) The Adaptec BIOS will only send a start command if it is
configured to remain resident (sounds stupid to me, but that's the way
it is). I want to maximize upper memory for DOS usage (yuck) so my
AHA2940 is configured without BIOS => no start unit.
J"org, I promise I will attempt to figure out what goes wrong in the
driver with RZ disks as soon as I manage to get a reliable machine
from my vendor. First motherboard gave "cc1 got signal 11" when doing
intensive SCSI I/O, the newer one just plains reboot without a message
when swapping occurs (or it is intensive graphics I/O ?) *sigh*
Again, thanks for your time,

I've RTFMed. It says: "Refer to your system administrator"
But... I *am* the system administrator :-]
