Hello Phil,

1st) The drive will run since 18 months with no problems. For this reason,
     I sure that the Jumper are correct.

2nd) The controler is an Adaptec 2840 (The VESA bus Ultra SCSI Controler.)

3th) Is there a version (of that driver, or else) that support more than
     1Gb of "SCSI" DATA.

Thank 

Michel Guy Paiement
