Jeg har fået dette at vide på mailinglisten freebsd-scsi:
"
Don't believe everything you read. The card is identical to a 29160N
with the exception that Windows drivers have been modified to disallow
tagged queuing on disk devices on the "19" models. The FreeBSD and Linux
drivers have no such restriction. Adaptec marketing just wants you to
pay more for the same card in a server setup. Of course, you didn't
hear it from me - my employer doesn't always want me to tell the truth.

Answer
This error message will appear when connecting an HVD (High Voltage Differential) SCSI device to the Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI card. Ultra 160 SCSI cards only support the use of Low Voltage Differential (LVD) and Single-Ended (SE) devices.
CAUTION! Connecting HVD devices to a non-HVD SCSI controller may damage both the device and the SCSI controller.
Determine if your device(s) being attached is a HVD device. Check for any markings on the device, typically near the SCSI connector that may indicate HVD or LVD/SE. However do not trust these marking completely, double check the type of device inside the unit. Although the external case may be marked as LVD, it is still possible the internal device may still be an HVD device.
The manufacuter of the device(s) should be contacted, if reviewing the documentation or visiting the manufacturers web shed light on the interface style the device is using.
Note: When using a HVD (High Voltage Differential) device, a HVD SCSI card must be used.
The correct Adaptec HVD SCSI product, would be an AHA-2944UW. This HVD SCSI card, designed specifically to work with HVD SCSI devices only. "
Men det stemmer da ikke med at den fejl også kommer, når der er kabel, men ingen disk på?
