    : 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

    : 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

    able to switch disks between both).
