I have a fairly new Nuvotech SC adaptor on an SE that has apparently stopped
working. The adaptor worked fine when I set it up. The user left it powered
on for 3-4 days, then the SE started complaining that the adaptor wasn't
responding. Powering the thing off/on and rebooting didn't help. The adaptor
was EXTREMELY hot to touch. I picked a spare off the shelf and it worked fine.

Is it normal for these things to heat up like that?
Could leaving it on and the heat build-up damage the adaptor?
Has anyone else experienced this sort of problem?

I just started using the SCSI adaptors a few weeks ago, so I'm new to their
behavior/performance/reliability.

Thanks in advance for any info.
