: 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.
Is there any place to go to get more info on this? I ran into this while trying to upgrade from an NCR to an AHA2940 and ended up giving up and going with the NCR (partly because I have two machines and wanted to be able to switch disks between both). -- --- Larry McVoy lm@sgi.com http://reality.sgi.com/lm (415) 933-1804
