Hmm, isn't there a problem with Compaq systems in that they don't totally obey the PCI bus specification? You might want to search the mailing list archives for Compaq and PCI (questions and scsi). You might also want to post this question to the freebsd-scsi mailing list so that Stefan and Justin see it (the resident PCI and SCSI gurus). Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org
