I have yet to hear about a 2930, what are the specs? The 2920 is a actually a Future Domain chipset and seems to work OK... My question is, I have a 2940 BIOS revision 1.21 which often fails to reinitialise without a power cycle.... this only happens after I've loaded linux and used the driver... If Linux doesn't touch the card it always works after a warm boot.... Mabe it's a bios issue, I'm not sure really.... perhaps it's somthing to do with the sequencer code? How do I go about getting the BIOS upgraded anyway, and what might be the difference? On another point, version 4.1 of the driver (linux 2.0.31+) as opposed to 4.0 does not work on my configuration if I have my HP scanner attached... 4.0 works flawlessly? any ideas? I'm currently running 2.0.32 patched back to the older version of the driver...

Now, everybody is switching from UNIX to Windows NT... Am I the only one who sees what is happening here?
