I thought I'd publically thank everyone that E-Mailed me suggestions.  I
appreciate all of the support.

It turns out that one of the cards was just plain bad.  The other two
had blown terminator fuses.  I'm not sure what the cause or effect was,
but I replaced the fuses and one of the cards now works fine.  The other
one is still flakey, but I'm not too concerned about it now.

I will probably drop a line to Adaptec and see if they will 'repair' the
cards for me.  It's gotta be cheaper than buying new ones.
