	I sucessfuly hooked a NOMAI MCD540 removable disk unit to a
FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE system.

	I got some troubles to make it work, I got tons of bus resets
and NCR crashes likes this:

sd5(ncr0:5:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8.
ncr0:5: ERROR (80:100) (8-2a-0) (8/13) @ (544:900b0000).
   script cmd = 910a0000
   reg:     da 10 80 13 47 08 05 1f 01 08 05 2a 80 00 02 00.
ncr0: handshake timeout
sd5(ncr0:5:0): COMMAND FAILED (6 ff) @f0c04c00.

	It was solved by a main board BIOS update on an Asus
P/I-55TP4XE with an Asus PCI-SCSI2000 adaptater. The last version of
the BIOS available from the Asus ftp site or mirrors, in the file
TCX5I020.ZIP.

	I can't explain why it work with this release and not the the
older one as the NCR bios seems to be the same between the two
version. Anyone got some ideas about this?
