I think you better check your facts.  The above are correct and are even
explained in the .h file that ISC uses to compile the kernel.  Many of the
things that you stated are either incomplete or completely wrong.  The setup
on this card has been explained many times in the newsgroup and you giving
incorrect information will only confuse people.

I wouldn't usually post this type of message in the group, but you could
confuse a lot of people with your last 2 posts, of incomplete and inaccurate
information.  If someone still needs complete setup information for the
adaptec, send me mail and I will send you back some comprehensive notes from
this group and other sources as how to do it under ISC.
