Hey, yes, that's been baffling the hell out of me. The aic7xxx WAS following 
the Promise card's IRQ around! I had no idea one of the PCI slots on my MB 
would be set to share IRQs with the onboard SCSI. I moved one of the NICs to 
that slot instead, and aic7xxx seems quite happy to coexist with the intel 
eepro100.

Thanks, you're a life saver.
