Have you read any of the SCSI faq's? There is a very good SCSI
resource at http://scsifaq.org:9080/scsi_faq/ 
It includes many FAQ's and quick start quides and a link to the
official comp.periphs.scsi FAQ, which is EXTREMELY large but it is
broken down in sections for general reading if you are interested.  

I had random lockups similar to yours before, one was from a NEC cd
changer that could not read CDR's very well and another with an
Adaptec 2940UW that newer firmware solved.  Adaptec's site does not
have any firmware updates listed for your 2940AU so thats not an
option.
