Hmmm...I would suggest you be more precise in exactly what has or has not
worked for you and why.

If you're referring to my patches, then yes, they are tested on an Ultra
controller (about four different varieties actually). They do *not* get
tested an a 2940U controller because I don't have one, the closest I get is
the 2940UW controller or the aic7880P motherboard chipset which is Ultra
Wide as well.

That's funny that you put it that way, since the code in 2.1.79 is all
strictly from Dan Eischen. The easiest (and most accurate) way to tell
my code from Dan Eischen's is to check the version number in the output of
/proc/scsi/aic7xxx/0. His code is versioned as 4.1/3.2 (I think those are
correct) and mine adds another .1 to the end of each. And yes, this does
mean that the original poster is using my code. But, more on that in my
response to his email.
