Hello,well I finally put in an Adaptec AHA-294x card, and yes indeed it sometimes crahses upon loading the driver module. I would say there is about a 50% chance of crashing the system. Still once it is up, it is running nicely and I have not hand any SCSI errors whatsoever.
I have used it with an EXABYTE Tape and a Sony CDburner with success now.
Still I am curious what causes the crashes, AndrewOn Thursday, Jun 12, 2003, at 16:47 Europe/Paris, Helge Kreutzmann wrote:

Are there any recommendations for which card I should get?I've run an old tape drive with a symbios based chipset for a long time in my LX. Trying in on my default aic7xxx card kills the machine however (numerous SCSI errors, no boot or if attached while running SCSI error literally swamp the machine). So I'd suggest getting a sym-card.
