Yes, if it's a 2940UW it has 3 connectors: an internal wide connector,
an internal narrow connector and an

This is true of the 2940UW but not the newer 2940UW Pro. It can support all
three simultaneously. Only drawback is expense.

I've got 9 or 10 of these cards deployed. All of the machines are running
2.0.29 without a single problem. I've never done anything more than plug
the card in, turn the machine on and install. No special tweaking
required.
What device(s) did you use on the card?

Not Debian only (was an issue with rescue problems, though).
I have a SCSI setup that runs perfectly with kernels
like 1.3.88. It includes an Adaptec 2940 UW, BIOS v1.23,
1996 (PCI), and an IBM DORS wide SCSI disk.
Repeat: the hardware worked for months,
this is NOT a cable/termination

I combined a 2.0.27 kernel with a 2.0.11 scsi folder,
and solved my problems for now. It seems that those
kernels that work access the wide scsi disk with 10.0 MHz,
while those that fail insist on accessing with 20.0 MHz
as scsi-2. In addition to a picky aic7xxx driver that
declines to fall back

If I recall the rescue disk is simply a msdos disk with a custom boot
loader? Meaning mount the disk and copy your kernel image to it.
It is an msdos filesystem, and the kernel is in the file linux. The root
filesystem is a gzip-compressed Minix RAM disk
