Still trying to debug this situation with my AHA-2940 timing out. Background on this is I took my Intel Zappa Motherboard with the Pentium-90 out of the box, and put in this new mystery motherboard made by "eurone" with 200MHz Cyrix MMX cpu, and now during long file transfer operations, I get timeouts and SCSI resets.
Everyone suggested I check my termination and cabling, (which was not changed when the new motherboard was put in) and I didn't see anything out of whack. Just in case I put in a SCSI cable with only 2 connectors, one end in the AHA-2940 and the other in a terminated hard drive. Lo and behold if I try to transfer large ( > 1 or 2 megs) files, the timeouts occur. Here are the error messages: Dec 31 21:32:42 keng-ppp kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 3803, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 0x0a 01 3a 15 f4 00 Dec 31 21:32:42 keng-ppp kernel: aic7xxx: (abort) Aborting scb 1, TCL 0/0/0 Dec 31 21:32:42 keng-ppp kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 3804, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 0x0a 01 3b 09 f4 00 Dec 31 21:32:42 keng-ppp kernel: aic7xxx: (abort) Aborting scb 0, TCL 0/0/0 Dec 31 21:32:59 keng-ppp kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 3803, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 0x0a 01 3a 15 f4 00 Dec 31 21:32:59 keng-ppp kernel: aic7xxx: (abort) Aborting scb 1, TCL 0/0/0 Dec 31 21:32:59 keng-ppp kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 3803) timed out - resetting Dec 31 21:32:59 keng-ppp kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.

At this point I believe there must be some fundamental incompatibility between the 2940 and this motherboard. Should I run out and buy something different? This is getting expensive !! Is anyone using a 2940 with a ASUS SP 97 board successfully? I as because they are available here for around $350 with 200MHZ Intel Pentium. I would appreciate any reports and/or suggestions on how to get back on the air here.
