[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Emulex MD21 & Adaptec 1542b's

Hi, I'm trying to use an Adaptec 1542b to drive a couple of disk behind 
a pair of Emulex MD21 adapter controllers.  Every time I plug up the Emulex
cards, I hang the Adaptec (the red light stays on).  Actually, the card
doesn't hang until the BIOS attempts to locate the disk, but you get the 
idea.  Has anybody sucessfully used this combination?  The Emulex card/disk
combination was popular in older Sun Microsystem external drives.
