I figured that this driver would _eventually_ get fixed since sooo many people have 2940s (tried/ka-booom)... even whimpered politely to author.
but if I do...
Will I then run into that nasty sector mapping problem?
No, moving from Adaptec to BusLogic is safe in that regard. Adaptec supports 64/32 and 255/63 mappings, whereas BusLogic uses 64/32, 128/32, and 255/63. BusLogic will adopt the existing partition table geometry if it's one of the three it supports, so a disk partitioned on Adaptec can always be used. At worst, you'll get a warning from the driver that it is adopting the existing geometry.
