Hello Paul,

We are using Adaptec 2940UW's on all our inhouse Unix boxes.  Two of
which are now running BSDI.  I have had no problems getting them
working with BSD, and little to know problems with SCO's Unixware
2.0x. 

I have had some problems with the Adaptec and NT 3.51 when using a
3Com 100BT card.  But we were able to resolve those problems too
(updated drivers).

We are running BSD on a Tyan Tomcat Dual Pentium 166 (single processor
mode) with 128 Megs of RAM.  It is using a 16bit Ether Express and a
Number Nine PCI Vision330 (it might be a motion330??).  It has been
running great for us.

Sorry this isn't much help, but we are using it sucessfully...
