I can boot with the 2.2-SNAP floppy and it works, probing the disks on the device. Booting from 2.1.5-R probes the PCI device and quickly mentions 'Adaptech' something or other but there are no drive probes. At first I didnt realize it was finding it on the PCI bus, as it was just the one line probe, and wasnt formatted like a standard probe message. -Brandon GIllespie
