I have an Adaptec AAA-131 Ultra 2 card here that is just jumping up and
down to prove you wrong.

Adaptec has some great product.  Unfortunately they came out with
the great product early on, then decided once they got their reputation
that they could make a lot of money by hiding obscenities like the
AAA-131 card in amongst the decent hardware.

Adaptec was also total assholes about giving up the specs for the 2740
so that we could write a device driver for it.  The Linux people also
were affected as well.  This might have been a long time ago but Adaptec
still to this day rather ignores FreeBSD.

I can't tell you what to change.

However, I CAN tell you how to go about finding out what you need to
change.  Do you want to do this?  It might mean some effort on your part.
