Brian,

I tried a 2940 in NetBSD 1.1.  I couldn't get the kernel to recognize it
at all!  I remeberd hearing that older 2940's had a bug in them.  I
wondered if maybe NetBSD was designed around the faulty card.  Anyway, I
happened to have an older one lying around, so I popped it in, and it's
worked beautifully ever since (and it's a news server - lots of SCSI
action)... Sorry, I'm not by the computer with the card, I can't check 
the dates for you...  I think it as a 94 that worked, and a 95 that didn't.
