I have had a 2940 with rev 3 (in dmesg output) wedge. I did have a 3940
at the same time in with it though (I've replaced it with a diamond
fireport 40 and reinstalled 2.2.5 from an old CD). I snagged the cam code
sometime in late June. Had three disks (one on each channel, 2 on 3940, 1
on 2940). The 3940 was not recognized with out the cam code (I was using
a snapshot release from 6/29, probably got the cam code the same day).
