I got this curious error when I tried to test ccd over two three gb drives
yesterday. The test was to see if the NCR cards are good enough. The modek
is an ASUS PC-200.

I switched the card for an AHA2940U card, and it works flawlessly.

Has any of you newsadmins got any experience with this type?

I was hoping that I could use several NCR based cards, and get around the
expensive AHA2940 cards. :)
