As the scanning lock-ups started to give me a really hard time I
switched from the BusLogic FlashPoint LT to an Adaptec 2930U2. This way
I get an extra Ultra2 channel for future upgrades :-)
I've done quite a number of scans since and never even the slightest
hint of a problem.

As for the old BusLogic card, anybody got any original, sadistic,
intimidating and mostly unnecessarily violent way to destroy a SCSI
card?
Hehehe. Seriously, it'll go into a fileserver and just do the harddisks.
It's done fine as long as I didn't do any scanning on it, so...
