[plug] SCSI Install Problem adaptec ava1515

[Garth Atkinson]

Hi Mark

Are you sure that the 1515 resources "0x340,11,7,1" (note that 0x340 is
a hexadecimal number) are correct? I got one of these cards working the
other week without too much heartache (the correct resources must be
specified as absolutely no auto-probing is done).

Garth
btw My card was at 0x140 - Is that the default address or is 0x340?
