Viktor,

   Missed your original message, but had some major problems with 2.0.33
when using more than one harddrive and the aic7xxx.  I tried with both
a Micropolis 8.7 U/W HD and a ZIP Drive (with the ppa driver), and
the Microplis and a IBM 2.1 U/W HD.  Both configurations would cause
a SCSI bus timeout.  Changing to 2.0.34 fixed the problem.

                Mark
