WAIT! Cand you load your 2940 bus and test it for me? I really need to
know if the card is faulty or not. The test is very simple: init, init,
init, init etc 'till you type through your keyboard! ;) Seriously, if after
10 inits in a row, having a slow CDROM, CDRW and hard disks, you don't loose
a single device, then I will consider changing the adapter (testing first
with the 2940...) Will have to find one of those Qlogic 1040 ultra ...
Having more guts, I would have changed this SX machine for an UP1000 but
I've had enough problems with this one...
