if interested I have a 19160 and a older IBM 9.1gb drive. have a 2940uw in use on a rom on one of my shop boxes. If I remember the drive will not boot to the 19160 for some reason but works on a 2940 no problem.
seems like I have another SCSI controller also ( brand escapes me) plus the old diamond ones ( number escapes me, they work with w2k and XP with 2k drivers) Also have some EISA stuff ( talk about OLD ) :-D fp At 12:39 PM 6/14/2007, DHSinclair Poked the stick with: >Thanks Hayes, >I have the v2.20 bios also.
