: 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).
