Oleg,
a couple of questions:
- how did you obtain/calculate the value for id?

I used the following commands:

$ ANA/SYS
SDA> CLUE CONF

and http://www.pcidatabase.com/ to check found ids


- is MK a valid value for boot_class
- is this file documented somewhere?

Oh, i don't know.
I just searched an internet for solution about my 2940UW and found one.

Brian, I've two Adaptec controllers:
- aha-2940/w/2940uw
- aha-2944uw
They're not supported by VMS (IIRC). Not supported doesn't mean won't
work.
Is there a way to let VMS use them?

I'm using aha-2940uw adapter on my DS10.
You need to add the following lines to SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT:
--- cut here ---
device                   = "Adaptec AHA-2940UW"
    name                   = PK
    driver               = sys$pkadriver.exe
    adapter             = PCI
    id                       = 0x81789004
    boot_class       = DK
    boot_flags       = HW_CTRL_LTR, UNIT_0
    flags                 = SCSI, PORT, BOOT
end_device
--- cut here ---
Also I have patched OVMS 8.4 CD which supports this adapter.
