Adaptec 2940AU and GA-aik1100
I went to boot the PC a few minutes ago and the screen just hung at
the Press ctrl-A to enter the SCSI select menu. I did the three finger salute and it did the same thing. I hit the reset button - same thing. So I turned off the power supply switch, waited a sec and turned the PC back on. It didn't happen. Could I have a bad SCSI card? Is there an issue with this motherboard and this SCSI card? There's an Iomega jaz 2GB drive on scsi ID number 4 on this adapter. Do jaz drives cause problems? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks! |
Before getting carried away, just check that over time the card hasnt inched
its way out of the slot a little and that all the cables are tightly in their sockets. It could be a good idea to check your other drive cables and cards at the same time. Its not beyond the realms of possibility that your 2940AU has gone south, but usually they are pretty reliable. Regards the overall reliability issues, I dont recognise your motherboard and so cant say, though Jaz drives reliability is best described as ok/acceptable and it is possibly the weak link (sorry).
