Although I only lurk around here, it becomes obvious from where does
Folkert's frustrations come from (partially, though)...
Ok, are you ****ing out of your mind? Why do people on Uselessnet (and
Internet generally) believe that other party has a god dam crystal globe
and is able to tell:
What MBO (brand/type) died?
What kind of SCSI devices?
How many SCSI devices?
How were SCSI devices configured?
Estimated budget?
Future upgrade plans?
(...)
Do you come at doctor's and just say - "I don't feel so good today" and
expect a diagnosis from that?

Most of the on-board Adaptec SCSI adaptors are roughly equivalent to
some flavor of AHA-2940, that is an AIC-7xxx chipset. Just get a
replacement motherboard and a suitable AHA-2940, and you will likely be
up and running again.

In another century.

So is every other SCSI controller, all being SCSI and that.

So is *every* Adaptec SCSI, up to U320 today.
And they're no AHA2940s. Particularly the AIC-79xx.

Wow, I didn't know the very common Symbios/LSI embedded SCSI controllers
on lots of system boards are 2940 variations.

Heller, clueless as always. That was 15 years ago.

Onboard SCSI mobo
