I havn't put an Adaptec 7896 into this motherboard, just added a 2940 to the built in 7896 and didn't have any problems. We use LVD drives on the A or 0 channel and they need external termination. I don't have transfer rate numbers handy but could generate some if that's what your asking ? > > > You need to run 3.2 or better to get the drivers for the on board > > Adaptec. > > I have downloaded (with CVSup) to stable version, but I have the same > problem.
