The driver could quirk around it, but you'd best contact gibbs at freebsd.org
for instructions on how to proceed. But please verify your interconnect is
100% solid -- 99.99% of SCSI problems are due to interconnect issues, and
justin doesn't have a lot of time to chase those down :)

That's be news to me. I've used hundreds of adaptec boards with 2.5X
firmware with no issues, at least the ahc-core stuff.  ahd (Ultra320) is a
whole nother ballgame.
