Problem went away, when I put the harddisk at the end of the SCSI chain... Term-AHA2940----CDROM----QUantumGrandPrix-Term The other problems were bad RAM modules (mixed 60 and 70 ns). Better use 60ns chips, allows you to switch to 100MHz Pentium. I have no problems now with FreeBSD-stable (2.1) AHA2940 and Quantum drive.
