Re: [newbie] Adaptec AHA-2920 woes

Update 1-10-01

I had the good fortune to have a local mentor take a look
at this errant system and he was unable to get it to behave.

We are now both of the opinion that the Adaptec AHA-2920
is not really an adequately supported scsi adapter.....or
the one I got is flaky!  ...or maybe there's something
amiss with the mobo...?

So, there's a enw AHA-2930U on the way that should land on
Friday and we'll give that a try. 

In the meantime, I've got another (not quite so) old acer
windoze box with a single ide 2gb drive that swallowed
7.2 just fine and I'll play on that til the scsi card arrives
and we can see what's what.....
