You see, at 2.1.6.1 the aha2940 driver works - it recognizes the drive isn't WIDE and does the right thing. At 2.1-STABLE (post 2.1.7) the aha2940 driver doesn't work. Now, if I understand you correctly, disabling WIDE negotiation for this device in the CNTRL-A setup for the aha2940 will cause 2.1.7 to become functional? I'll give it a try this evening. - Thanks - - Dave R. -
