I've been using an AHA2940 for ages, and it works fine. However, there are
some problems with changing SCSI adapters, e.g. a harddisk formatted with
an Adaptec controller sometimes won't work with a NCR controller, and vice
versa.
If you have any other OSes installed, see if they can access everything.
