Well I tried the card in my p75 with a Netbsd boot floppy. And I'm getting the same
error, Ram checksum failure. I even went so far as to see how Freebsd would do with
it and the kernel just hangs on bootup after it is detected. I took a look at the
Qlogic chip on the card, and it says ISP1040A/2405053, and then below that it says
JA T9N45AH. So what should I do now?
