Your lines are a bit long, btw, making them hard to quote... try
wrapping at 70 columns instead of 81 or 82 :) I've re-wrapped them
here...

The ASUS SC-200? And I believe latest BIOS available for the ASUS
boards is 3.07 (which is what I'm running). There's a 4.x out, but
it's not compatible with the ASUS BIOS.

Hmm, well if your card is the ASUS SC-200, it's got a jumper on it
for the termination. I believe unjumpered means the card is
terminated, and jumpered means the card is unterminated, but I'm not
positive about that. In any case, you do need to change the jumper
when hooking up external devices, which is rather annoying. What I'd
like to do is get an external active terminator with the half-pitch
50pin connector, and leave the card itself unterminated, but I don't
know where to get any. (any ideas? :)

Hmm, strange, my system isn't too much different from yours, and
things work fairly well for me. ASUS P55TP4XE, P100, ASUS SC-200,
Capella 2.1GB and Toshiba CD-ROM. I was running with that for about a
year, and added an Atlas 2.1GB a few months ago. I've also got a 3com
3c595 ethernet card (running at 10Mbps), a Matrox Millenium, and a
Sound Blaster 16.

Oh, and I'm using gcc 2.7.2 to compile kernels.
