Hello,

Many thanks to Alan Cox and the ACARD people for working on the ACARD
driver.

1.
The driver for my Advance 2941U Ultra-SCSI Controller
(ACARD/AEC6712U/ATP870UW-C)
is loaded now without problems as a module:

: aec671x_detect:

IRQ:11.

Playing with Yamaha CDRW and Jaz drive: no problems, but
after playing a little bit with my HP scanner - SANE/XSANE -
(which has worked with no problems with my old NCR scsi adapter):

: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 83763, scsi0, channel 0,
id 3, lun 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00
.

.
: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 83763, scsi0, channel 0,
id 3, lun 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00
: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 83763) timed out - resetting
: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
: SCSI host 0 channel 0 reset (pid 83763) timed out - trying harder
: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.

After restarting the PC and playing again with HP scanner for some time:

no problems.
Hm?

There seems to be a little problem when compiling the ACARD driver
resident:
