I tried this myself and was able to reproduce your problem - my 2940UW dropped off the bus and started complaining about timeouts, as did my PCI ethernet card ("de0: transmission timeout"), so it looks like a general bus problem. It is very strange, considering that tv should be generating more Meteor related bus traffic than vic and tv works just fine. > Now with my Matrox Meteor , with or without my Adaptec 2940UW, vic > seems to freeze the file system or the scsi bus .

Get your console output redirected to an xterm and you'll see the various drivers losing their mind. :-) Jordan
