Hm, where Do I get the Rev.Nr. from? Is it printed on the board
somewhere?
And, no, I didn't try an older AICxxx driver yet. But as I said, with
2.2.10 there are no more hangs, the whole system runs smoothly, as long
as I don't use the g_NCR5380 or the soundcard.

I know :-(
Yes, it's one of those Musteks, and it used to stop the whole System
during the scans. (Strange enough, with 2.2.10 in Single-CPU mode it
does no longer)
But apart from that, I never had problems with the scanner/card
combination, and it works in SingleCPU mode.

Not really, as the Scanner cannot disconnect....

Hm, isn't it just that the AIC is the SCSI-chipset and 2940 is the name
of the card? I think they advertised the Board as "with Adaptec 2940
onboard".

No, I didn't follow that thread too closely. I'll look it up in the
archive and give your patch a try.
ThanX,
Peter
