    > Hi, Friend.
    > When OS/2 fail with AHA 2940, use your Utilities disks to boot.
    > Then edit the config.sys, add these switches on the line:
    > BASEDEV=AHA7870.ADD /!ET /V /A:0 /I /DM:0 /SM:0 /UR

What are those switches for?  What do they do?

Also, I grabbed the updated driver from FTP.ADAPTEC.COM, added the /PCIHW 
switch to my BASEDEV=AHA7870.ADD statement, and...I got a boot failure when I 
rebooted.

Got any ideas why that switch doesn't work?
