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 ! Allen
