Thanks. Referred in particular to "Installation Guide, AHA-2944UW".

Found nothing explicit about preventing the Adaptec card from
intervening in the boot process.

Page 4 has heading "Boot Device Settings" and subheading "Boot Target
ID". Therefore set all 8 LUNs to "No".

Still with Adaptec card and video card installed, booting yields a
consistent black screen.

HDD operation and video are rather distinct. How can they conflict?
More fundamental than BIOS? IRQ conflict? Neither card has a jumper.

Baffled for now. Further ideaas welcome.

Thx,                          ... P.
