This might be of interest for all OS/2 users that have a Dawicontrol
DC2976UW SCSI Controller and plan to either apply FP14 or install
WSeB / eCS...:

If you get a TRAP C after applying FP14 (using the native driver
DC2976.ADD) try using Symbios' drivers for the SYM53C875 Chipset
("SYMC8XX.ADD"). If this gives you intermittent hangs on the SCSI
bus, try using JJSCDROM.DMD instead of OS2CDROM.DMD. This finally
solved the problem for my system.

According to DawiControl's helpline the TRAP C is a known problem
with the aurora kernel, but due to a forthcoming U160+ controller
deployment they have no resources left to fix this right now.
