 Hi, indeed, i suffer from some problem about SCSI-interface attached
my laptop.
 that SCSI interface is known as APA-1480 manifactured by Adaptec, which is
adapted on CardBus slot on laptop computer.
 i sured that APA-1480 is available on NetBSD, but after attached it on my
laptop, some error message was printed-out (as below).

ahc0: at cardbus0 dev 0  function 0: Adaptec ADP-1480 SCSI
ahc0: interrupting at 9
ahc0: CardBus device requires an SEEPROM
ahc0: aic7860 Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/255 SCBs
ahc0: Host Adapter Bios disabled. Using default SCSI device parameters
scsibus0 at ahc0: 8 targets, 8 luns per target


i cannot understand the meaning of "requires an SEEPROM".
Did i buy the one which cannot be used on NetBSD?
Help... i'm begging.

Thanks.
