Hello,

I've been away on holiday for a while and not done any testing of the UW
SCSI controller.

The problem I was having was ethernet blocking or stalling if anything was
connected to the UW 53c770 contoller.  Compiling in PCI didn't help but
removing the 53c710 A4091 driver did.  Without the A4091, the UW
controller is almost perfect...

Almost because I still get the system freezes when accessing SCSI disks
that I always got with the A4091 !

What can be going on ?

The 53c710 driver for the A4091 works perfectly (I'm told) in the A4000T
and I can't imagine there's a problem in the higher level SCSI code.

What is unique with A4000 and CVPPC combination ?

Could it be as simple as a hardware ram problem ? 

Ken.
