I've just put my SCSI disks on a 2940W (instead of a 1542B). I'm
getting occasional problems w/ the disks - nothing that a SCSI reset
doesn't cure (the OS sends this after a bit of "disk timed out"
complaining). I suspect that I'm just trying to drive the disks too
fast, so I can't really complain about the OS itself.
Doubtful, unless you have _really old_ drives. It sounds more like
you have marginal cabling and/or termination.
