I'm running an ASUS Dual Pentium motherboard in my system at home and I'm
running 2.1.132 without any problems using the on board SCSI. I also ran
2.0.36 using a single 2940 without problems other than the fact I had bad
memory in the system. I even ran for a while using the 2940 and the 7890
that is onboard before I went strictly with the on board SCSI.
