I wasn't really succesful getting the old versions of stuff .. however ..
since I'd originally emailed about these problems, I got an AGP graphics
card and a SCSI cdrom (enabling me to disable the 2nd IDE channel) I was
able to force the on-board scsi channels to use irqs 10 and 11 (which I
believe is what they should try to use) by juggling irqs a bit .. so they
were definately using the right irqs, but still I get the "Test Unit Ready"
stuff .. if anyone has any further hints (or direct pointers to help) I'd
greatly appreciate it
