Hmm.  I have been told before that 1040's have been tested to work in PC164's,
but for some reason, none of them work *for me*.  At this point, I would
be interested in experiments:
* Does anyone have a "known working" SCSI card that I could borrow for
testing?  Ideally an ultra/wide; I'm told this has been done.
* Does anyone have a PC164 known to boot from SCSI devices, which could have
a SCSI card put in it for testing?

Basically, given that I have about five different '875 cards, and a 1040,
that don't work, I'm assuming that the problem is in some way tied to the
system or its setup.
