Apropos my original article, I neglected to say that, after having problems with the 2940 controller, I've been trying also a 1542B, same hard disks, same CD drive, same, hopefully good scsi termination. I then could install both Freebsd and Dos. What I'm going to replace now is the hard disk (IBM) with a new one (Fujitsu), and do it again. However I'm inclined to think about the buggy firmware revision with PnP motherboards and hence to contact the tech support from Adpatec/Asus. Meanwhile, if possible, I'll try to swap the motherboard also, with a non PnP type. I'll get back to you as soon as any piece of news. Thanks Marco
