I just had quite a fright, and I'd appreciate a bit of advice before I stick my neck out again. I have an Intel DK440LX board, which has a dual bussed 7895 on it. I added an adaptec 29160, so the 29160 came up as ahc2 (the dual bussed 7895 being ahc0 and ahc1). Fright was when I accidentally set the 29160 up to use it's bios (like the 7895 was). Suddenly, no scsi drive would boot. An hour later (after testing every cable connection and losing some hair I couldn't really afford to lose) I set the bios setting on the 29160 off, and I could boot again. Can anyone explain in a bit of detail just what I did wrong, or why it was so wrong? I want, ultimately, to have a drive hung off the 29160 to boot (and there will be 2 drives on the 29160) so I have to understand what I'm doing a bit better, in getting ahc0-2 to compatibly coexist.
