The first controller that has always been used in the machine worked as before, no problems, but the second controller had huge performance problems. I tried a lone Sony SDT-7000 tape drive and a lone old IBM 0662 disk in the second controller, neither could transfer more than maybe few kB/s, being practically unusable. I got some "Timedout SCB handled by another timeout" messages. At least the tape drive has been working just a few days ago in my home box, a dual pentium with AHA-3940 controller.
