Before going to IDE, consider replacing the 2940UW with a Buslogic, such
as the 948s (UW). The Buslogic driver is quite mature, and the
controllers are considered to be very good quality:

I will second that BusLogic 948 are excellent PCI SCSI cards. I
dropped one in my P100 this summer (and once I convinced my acient BIOS to
get IRQs shuffled around right) and it worked like a charm. I connected it
up to some fast Seagate drives, and it has been rock solid for five or so
months, 24x7 uptime. :)
