BSOD 29160 card

NTDEV
1

Hi all,

Hope this question is not of topic but I am just wondering if anyone
else has one of the following problems with the Adaptec
Problem 1 is that when I sent a SCSI SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE command (after
several Write calls). This command may take several seconds but it never
completes because the Controller resets the device before it can
complete the command. This doesn’t happen with other cards I try. Does
anyone else have similar problems ?

The other, more serious problem, is that I get Blue screens when I do
the following. I start my test with the door of the CD player open. I
then load the CD (e.g. CD door closes) and sent a number of TEST UNIT
READY commmand. They all fail of course but the 5th or so causes a page
fault in adpu160m.sys. The memory address which is invalid is an address
retrieved from the Srb->SrbExtension. I can get around this problem by
delaying my SCSI commands but I wonder if anybody else seen those
problems because I cant find any problem in my code.

Anyone any idea’s ?

Thanks all.
Jos.

The U3 range of Adaptec cards have had problems with both the drivers and the
firmware, both of which have updates available at the Adaptec web site.
