I swear -- I have no luck with SCSI cards.  First the NCR PCI card didn't work,
and now I'm having trouble with the Buslogic VLB card.  (Yes, I have one of
those maddening VLB/PCI 486 motherboards.)  I'm getting further this time,
though.  Here's the configuration:

Port 330, IRQ 12, BIOS disabled, synch negotiation disabled

The card is correctly probed at boot time.  I have two drives on the SCSI
chain, a Quantum ELS127S, and a Quantum LT730S.  The boot-time probe
correctly identifies both drives.  The problem arises the first time I
try to access one of the disks.  Here's an extract from /var/log/messages:


Jan 12 19:43:30 ositos kernel: bt0: Try to abort
Jan 12 19:43:32 ositos kernel: bt0: Abort Operation has timed out
Jan 12 19:43:42 ositos kernel: bt0: Try to abort
Jan 12 19:43:44 ositos kernel: bt0: Abort Operation has timed out

Jan 12 19:45:31 ositos kernel: bt0: Try to abort
Jan 12 19:45:33 ositos kernel: bt0: Abort Operation has timed out

Any suggestions?  Do I have something misconfigured?  Do I just have
a bum motherboard?  Should I just stick to IDE :-)?
