Hi.

/Anyone has it working properly?  Works fine under NT, but incredibly

/slow once in a while. Kernel does not log any more stray irqs, beca-

Such a strange thing.
I've got 2 boxes under FreeLSD (486dx2/66/16M) but one differens
between its, first with AHA-1542CF controller & 1GB Futjitsu HDD
and second with chineese IDE 500MB HDD. In the first mashine
3C509 works like a charm, but on the second it die after 5-7
min. I'm at a loss what to do. Interrupts & addresses was
set properly.

/Another suspect is Adaptec AIC 6360L card.  The machine has isa-pci
/buses, and a buggy Pentium(I hope that is not a problem (-: ).

I has no COMBO card, but if it may help...

/Thanks!

Вообще-то из моего опыта - выкинуть нафиг
этот отстой от 3Com и поставить че-нть
от Western Digital.
