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...
