I also have a NCR controller. The disk has a 400 meg DOS partition first, then a 1390 meg BSD partition, and the third partition is all BSD swap space. I can't interchange the 2940 with the NCR card and run the machine on a reliable basis with FreeBSD. It will run for a while with the NCD card then tend to lock up the SCSI bus. It appears to run just fine with the 2940. Shouldn't I be able to just swap cards and run using the default kernel with either the NCR or the 2940? larry
