Well, I was running SCO Xenix and had the same problems.  I tried to return
the controller for credit - and was told that the controller has not been
approved by SCO so my return would be subject to a 25% restocking fee (this
was from the distributor - Tech Data). 

I'm no longer running the controller, like SCO - and am not having any 
problems.  The 2372B might not be as fast - but it works.
