I have two critical machines using this card. For me everything works fine. However, I'd buy a Buslogic 958 if possible. People report that the 2940* extreme sensitivity to cables is somewhat substandard. Also, the buslogic driver seems more stable and faster. Adaptec doesn't give any hint on their product, and the maintainers have to do heroic efforts. On the other hand, Buslogic gives full support to the linux maintainer. Carlos
