Hi Justin,

// Most likely what is happening is that the IBM drive is returning

// aic7xxx driver or the SCSI system to fail certain commands.  Most

This is a production machine that I still don't want to run current
in it, but needs desperately more performance from disk.

Do you think that just removing the AHC_TAGENABLE and leaving the others
will solve the problem ?

Also, do you know if there's a list of boards/disks combinations that
work with tagged queueing ?  In particular, would the 2940UW with
Seagate Barracuda or Cheetah work ?

Thanks for your answer,

					Jonny
