Mine, AHA-2940,  worked fine right out of the box.  Never had DOS on any of the
disks.  I know that Adaptec switched to a newer chip about a year ago.  Mine has
the aic7870 chip I believe.  I had trouble loading Solaris 2.5 on a machine
with the newer chip but, it worked fine on an older AHA-2940.  Sorry, but I
can't remember the chip sets.
