In theory (ANSI X3.170A-1991) you're right, but as an owner of a computerstore after having built up many hundreds of x86-PC's the facts have proven the opposite ;-( Try 2xIBM+1xConner+CDROM with AHA-2940 and you'll see only one combination working : IBM=ID0,IBM=ID1,CDROM=ID2,Conner=ID3 or higher and Terminated. Chances are 99.9%, that all other combinations especially with one terminated IBM-HD and other(IBM) not, will fail. Rule of Thumb: Adaptec+IBM's+Whatever --> Desaster Sorry Pal bye OLK -- eMail : delise@online-club.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
