Finally got this sucker working with two segate drives.  Thanks to a          
friend who foundthat you need to specify:                                     
ultra                                                                         
as a module option.  This worked for one drive, but when i hooked up the      
second drive it still panic()ed.  I finally figured out the problem.          
Adaptec was assigning the IDs as 0 and 15.  Linux apparently wasnt dealing    
well with the 15.  Turn off SCAM support and assign the drive IDs             
manually. emeber the boot drive is 0 and the adapter is automatically         
seven.  the second (and third....) devices should be in acending order        
starting with one (since 0 is the boot drive).                                
                                                                              
now to see if the tape drive will work...
