If you've experimented with "AHC_TAGENABLE" in the past, but found that one of your targets wasn't working correctly, you may want to try it again, one of the race conditions I fixed could manifest itself that way. I'm also looking for "boot -v" output from folks that have a motherboard aic7870 or aic7880 (ie PCI) controller. I'd like to support the NVRAM configuration info these MBs use. Thanks -- Justin T.
