Ok after further investigation, I can get the system to = recognize=20 the card,

aha0 at port-0x130-0x133 irq 9 drq 5 on isa0
aha0:=20 AHA-1542CF FW Rev. F.0 (ID=3D45) SCSI Host Adapter, SCSI ID 7, 16 = CCBs

but=20 when it does, I get all of these errors

 Waiting 15 seconds = for SCSI=20 devices to settle down
 (approximately 30-45 seconds=20 later)
 (Probe0:aha0:0:0:0) CCB = 0xc782c508
 (Probe0:aha0:0:0:0)=20 CCB 0xc782c508
 aha0: aha_cmd: Timeout waiting for adapter=20 idle
 ahainitmboxes: Initialization command failed
 aha0 = no=20 longer in timeout
 (Probe6:aha0:0:6:0) CCB=20 0xc782c508
 (Probe6:aha0:0:6:0) CCB 0xc782c508
 aha0: = aha_cmd:=20 Timeout waiting for adapter idle
 ahainitmboxes: Initialization = command=20 failed
 aha0 no longer in timeout

and after 30-45 minutes = the=20 system will finally get finished probing and give
me a login=20 prompt.

So it's not an IRQ problem, in fact, the only way I can = make the=20 system
boot-up quickly is to make it share an IRQ.  On boot-up, = it=20 recognizes and
lists the tape drive, but when it comes to probing, = it's no=20 joy.

Any ideas/suggestions/hints?
