I doubt it is an Endeavour as this has the Vibra Sound set and Trio S3

The Endeavour has a switch block and cannot support 166Mhz

If you discover what you actually have :) try MR BIOS, the Endeavour
board is suppoerted by their bios and will allow the complete
disablement of the Vibra. http://www.mrbios.com/

No and I tried, gave up and used an SB16, it's shorter

The Adaptec 2940UW has both 68 pin wide and 50 Pin Standard SCSI
connectors and you can use both at the same time, I do.
