A friend has a 9 gig Seagate drive and an Adaptec
1542C card and is
having a helluva time getting it to work with a late model
motherboard.
boots okay from an IDE drive, but the aforementioned setup
hangs almost
every time.
Do you know of an incompatibility with the drive and card;
i.e. too much
drive for the scsi bios to understand???
The card has trouble with high transfer rates. The on-board
BIOS allows you to limit that to 5MB/s; when I slowed it down
to that, it worked fine for me. YMMV (rather, HMMV), etc...
