I'm pleased to mention that Diamond Multimedia's FirePort 40 (single) card has
been recognized by the ncr83c8xx driver, and all of my attached Quatum Atlas II
drives were correctly recognized and reported; I have yet to put it through
it's paces (formatting & run of the mill I/O requests).  This was with an
earlier version of Tom's Root/Boot disk, using a 2.0.33 kernel.

The Adaptec 2940W on my machine was also recognized, along with the tape and
CD-ROM that are attached to it.  If the 2940 series is "unstable" I'll just
move my devices to the FirePort.  Any suggestions?
