Problems with aic7xxx

[Robert W. Rowe]

You don't say what type of SCSI you are running, but I assume you are using 
wide or ultra-wide SCSI disks.

My SCSI controller, which is built into the motherboard, has narrow and 
wide SCSI channels. If your scanner and disks are on the same channel, this 
will happen. I keep my slower items, such as the scanner, Zip Disk and 
CD-RW on one channel and all disks on the other. The slower objects are on 
the narrow-SCSI cable/channel/connector--the 50-pin side--while the disks 
are on the 68-pin cable.
