Mine is even weirder: a PowerCenter Pro 240 (from PowerComputing). Think
of a 7300 with a little hacks. And I have 2 SCSI controller: the
built-in NCR based and the AHA 2930-B that works well. My scanner in on
the internal SCSI while the boot disk is on the Adaptec card.

Both bus works fine. Note that the clue about Linux kernel version is
not an idiot remark: I had to keep an old "cdrecord" binary that was
compatible with kernel 2.2.
