No Buslogic? > No. There was a rumor that newer SRMs would support adaptec, but that hasn't happened. I've had some problems with a couple of NCR boards. I've had the best success with the Qlogic cards. There is a clone vendor for Qlogic (PTI) that has had some problems. And there are some problems with a earlier Qlogic cards (1020A) and earlier SRMs (I don't know the rev)- probably because they tried to do Ultra and couldn't quite get it right. Your best bet for these cases is to take the Qlogic card over to a PC and get into the BIOS and disable sync mode for that target- and see if the SRM is intelligent enough to follow.
