I was wondering how you got away with this, and if you felt that it was easier to deal directly with the AIC chip than to deal with the HIM module code from Adaptec? I have to write a driver for this 2940 card, and I'm wondering if it would be easier to bypass Adaptecs HIM module (as it appears you did) or if I would be better off using it. Thanks for your help.
