My Asus SC875 has Flash BIOS on the card, and Adaptec-like boot time BIOS config, and no jumpers. While my 2940 enters its config on control-A, the Asus card uses control-C. Both prompt with a reminder when they are polling for your input. The Asus manual uses the term "Symbios Logic" so often and freely that I'm guessing its BIOS is totally generic Symbios. Termination is automatic with no indication as to what it chose. Manual specifically states only 2 of the 3 SCSI connectors can be used else you make a T out of the SCSI bus. I have a narrow non-Ultra 2940 in my system in addition to the SC875. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
