Personally, if I bought a SCSI card, I'd buy one of the supported PCI BusLogic cards.
Linus Well;
I am one of those idiots that was ignorant (and broke) enough to buy a motherboard with the UM888BF chipsets (PCI/VLB). I have only been able to confirm one problem with writes from SCSI to IDE. That was with a 2940UW. This was fatal to the controller in the fact that it continued to corrupt data from the first time he tried it (with a 2+ meg file). I ordered a Buslogic 948C and hope this does not happen to me before I have the money to buy a new board. Does any of the PCI Bridge fixes have any affect on this chip? Will any of the future kernels address this problem?
