Recently purchased another Adaptec AHA-2930CU SCSI card (1999 rev for Mac) to use with a Lenovo computer and large format UMAX scanner. Lenovo computer is running latest Antergos distro. The 1999 rev card would not work with the UMAX scanner. With the scanner attached, the card would fail and go off-line.
Without the UMAX scanner attached, the card would load.
To compare, I swapped the two cards; ie, 1997 rev card into the Lenovo Antergos computer and the 1999 rev card into the Dell Mageia. Neither card worked. Same dmesg report from each (Card times out. See below).
When I returned the 1997 rev card to the Dell Mageia computer, it no longer works. Now the Adaptec card times out during boot.

I had not changed any SCSISelect settings and I believe all permissions are correct.
lsmod shows the aic7xxx module is loaded.
lspci reports the Adaptec card is installed. lsscsi does not.
I've checked logs. Nothing different from dmesg.
