Jeremy,
I have an UMAX 610S and run it on a 2940 "plain". There is a HD,
CDROM and DAT tape attached to the same card. This is a personal
machine so there is not an excessive amount of disk beating. I have
found that this setup works ok, but there have been a couple of times
over the past two weeks that I've had the scanner that I did manage to
crash the SCSI bus = crashed system in my case
