I wish I had better news, but I have exactly the same drive and controller and they work like a charm. There is an issue with adaptec drives regarding the Plug and Play SCAM support. It runs a lot better with it enabled. I have the following options set in my adaptec BIOS (version 1.25): Parity Enabled Termination Auto Device options: Sync Yes Transfer rate 40 Disconnection Yes Wide Yes Advanced options: SCAM Enabled Reset Enabled Ultra Enabled Here are my kernel config file options: controller ahc0 options AHC_TAGENABLE options AHC_SCBPAGING_ENABLE options AHC_ALLOW_MEMIO controller scbus0 at ahc0 disk sd0 at scbus0 target 6 <- This is the DCAS disk sd1 at scbus0 target 5 <- This is a Zip drive in case it matters Also someone posted on a related thread that some of the DCAS drives come with the DQUE jumper shorted, you might want to check that too. If you need a BIOS upgrade it's available free from Adaptec, check out their www page and find the link to mail support.
