I pulled an Adaptec 1460D SCSI PCMCIA card out of my junk box and=20
inserted it into a notebook running RH 8.0. It fails no matter what devic=
es I=20
have on the SCSI bus (and termination on the SCSI bus doesn't seem to mat=
ter=20
either).
     /var/log/messages points a finger when I do a hot insert (with SCSI=20
devices connected on the other end, didn't try without):
