Hi

Does anyone have any experience in putting 2 AHA1542 cards into one
box?

I tried this and have had no luck. Here is the saga:

The first card is set to factory default and is an AHA1542C. The
second has been moved to Port 0x240 DRQ 6 IRQ 9 and is an AHA1542B.
After lots of fun-and-games while I actually got the card's strapping
right :-), I can get the 1542C ^A-BIOS to do a diagnostic run on both
cards and to probe for devices on both cards.

Now - the first card works just fine. The second probes OK during
FreeBSD boot, but hangs solid during the "waiting for SCSI devices
to settle" pause. I have checked _everything_. The terminators are
OK, the card works (strapped to factory default) in another machine,
There are no DRQ/PORT/IRQ conflicts.

The motherboard is a Megabyte G486 with an i486DX/50 and 16MB of RAM.

Any clues?
