Neither SCSI chipset has given us any problems, although we don't
exactly push them hard (the box can't!):

To my knowledge, there exist many different AIC78xx chips with slight differences, and some of these are said to be defective. Myself, I could never verify and such thing, but that might have been luck. As far as I know, it's not easy to determine the actual chip revision etc. without detailed knowledge of the chips, cards, and drivers, so I think Knut might have a more-or-less broken controller chip.

The linux source code of aic7xxx does contain quite a number of (possible) bug workarounds, people say. (But you know what to think about "people say", right?). On the other hand, seeing that windos drivers get more support and develoment is not unusual as we know.

My suggestion: Try any other SCSI card, be it another Adaptec one or an other manufacturers product and see what happens.

# cat /proc/cpuinfo
Dual pentium 133


# free -m
Some memory
Lowest spec production sd out there, perhaps? :)

No.
One P133, 128 MB RAM, two SCSI HBAs, some old (slow) disks and 3 to four tapes...

I woldn't sell that configuration, though...
