Hi David,

I observe the same symptoms with a Compaq Armada 1598 and a 1460A (not 1460B)
SlimSCSI.  I'm using 2.2.6-release without the PAO.

The devices are recognized by the scsi card (although after a ~30 sec delay
during which my laptop is completly frozen).  After that, no response (mount,
disklabel...) from the device (tried Zip drive and then a CDROM).

I was about to get some new SCSI cables to do some more tests.  

Anyone has a working setup with an Adaptec 1460A SlimSCSI ?

Florent.
