I do know that already more than half a year, and therefore I've updated 
my fifteen 2940Uw cards to level 3.10. My two 29160 cards of course are 
at that level too.

Guys, I am not that stupid as it seems I look like.

You very well do know I was/I am talking about another brand new Epox

I'll repeat again and that will be my last reply on it, for it is 
becoming very tedious.

The mobo-bios-setup screen comes _AFTER_  the scsi initiation. _AFTER_!
And there is  not something broken, it is meant like that and there are 
messages to guide the user about this "novelty".
And this "novelty" means it's impossible for the scsi card to set it's 
boot id. Capisci? Capisciamo? Capiscete?
