Preconfiguration Information
Don’t use a version of the AHA-274x series configuration utilities before version
2.1.
Don’t use a version of the AMI ECU before version 2.01 when configuring the
AHA-274x on a motherboard with an AMI BIOS.
Known Problems and Limitations
The AHA-274x is not compatible with the Wyse MP system.
Motherboards that support level-triggered interrupts, such as an EISA
motherboard, will support multiple AHA-274x adapters sharing the same IRQ
(although there may be minor performance degradation).
The AHA-2840VL adapter cannot share IRQ vectors because it supports only
edge-triggered interrupts.
When the AHA-274x host bus adapter runs under heavy load, the tape device
loses arbitration contests to faster devices with higher priorities and produces
“Media Error” messages. To avoid this problem, change the SCSI ID of the adapter
so that it is lower than the tape device setting.
