I have an LSI20320-R (parallel SCSI) card in a Tyan Thunder K8WE, and  
it's working fine (although the only thing I currently have connected  
is an LTO-1 tape drive). However, I do have to use an ACPI kernel-- 
IIRC, a non-ACPI kernel does the continual command timeout thing. The  
ACPI requirement seems to be fairly recent; mpt worked with a non-ACPI  
kernel in -current from earlier this year.
