SUMMARY

BIOS revision 1.20 for the Adaptec 2940 is incompatible with systems using
Phoenix BIOS versions 4.04 and 4.05.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
When using an Adaptec 2940 with BIOS revision 1.20 in a system using a
Phoenix BIOS version 4.04 or 4.05, your system may stop responding (hang)
during startup.
 
Usually the computer hangs after displaying the Adaptec BIOS information,
but it has also been reported to cause problems later in the setup process.
This behavior may also occur in systems containing a BIOS which utilizes
segment 3000.
 
This problem has been corrected in the Adaptec 2940 BIOS revision 1.21
which is available from Adaptec.
