I have never had an error.
2PPro/200 Tyan S1662D 128MB EDO RAM.
aic7xxx driving an Adaptec 2940UW PCI card with one disk attached.
Linux 2.2.0-pre0. I ran 2.0.3x for 6-8 months before that.
--SLAKWARE--
NO MODULES.
Oh, i take back the no errors part. When i first installed Linux, i got
these warnings:
=====================================================================

so i tried setting both high and low termination, but that *was*
disastrous, so i went back to the warnings.
