Adaptec 7880 con troller, th e OS/2 Adaptec dr iver
will display the followin g message whe n started:
"Error: Adapter not su pport by this v ersion of the
driver (C0103083h)". This me ssage can be ig nored.
It is caused by the driv er not being able to in itialize
the 7880 contr oller because it is disabled, but not
because the driver doesn't support it. It doesn't
effect the initialization of the o nboard Adaptec 7860
controller.
