It is a yamaha 8424. Since then, my scsi bus is having difficulties: it gets reset way too often (sometimes 3 times one shot!) as if there was a termination problem. I checked the terminations, changed the cable and I still get the problem. It is weird since uppon system reset, it never resets twice. Only SRM and loader do it. It is as if the bus was reset too fast. When it gets reset twice, scsi bus poling fails and I get only two devices (dva0 and pka). Has anyone else seen this problem. I'm about to change the card for a 2940 to see if it's the card but I just wanted to know it this problem has been seen.
