  If you boot from OS/2, add these switches in config.sys at the end of
the line    basedev=AIC7870 /!ET /V /A:0 /I /DM:0 /SM:0 /UR

  The numbers zero 0  after A, DM, SM are the SCSI ID# of your boot HDD.
OS/2 will stop or hang if these switches are missed.
One more problem is that, sometimes the Adaptec adapter needs to low-level
format your HDD to recognize it. I got the same problem with Quantum 1080S
when swiching from Always IN-2000 ISA-SCSI to AHA-2940W

Hope this is some info. Good success !
