I am sorry to only offer my 5c-worth, but it has been a very well known
fact that Linux has much better BusLogic drivers than the newer AHA-294x

I'm sure most people can't believe that someone is even interested in using
anything other than a BusLogic card! Maybe for the sake of having a stable
system anyone with an Adaptec 294x should downgrad to BusLogic and Win95!
Besides, why would we even have any interest in improving Linux and having
it work with the 294x? I guess there's only three or four people that even
try to use it anyway . . .

Sorry, Alex. I realize it's only your 5c-worth, but if the 294X work with
other OSes they should work with Linux. I'm sure its worth my time and the
time of other people to fix this - Adaptec, as well as BusLogic, IS a big brand
and is used by MANY people.
