I have been running on an Adaptec 2940 series with a Quantum and a
Seagate (lost the Quantum once in 3 years) since I started running
RedHat 4.2. Never had a problem. Watch your termination though!
Terminate the devices if you can, if not enable auto-termination on the
card and you should be golden. I have no hardware termination here -
just the auto on the card.
Here's the important stuff from my config, if anyone is interested:

Typical SCSI rules apply - keep the faster devices (drives) at the top
and the slower (tape, CDROM) toward the end. I suppose my tape shouldn't
be ID2. Tough. It works! ;)
