Read the FAQ. I quote :
QUESTION: What SCSI hosts are supported?
ANSWER: The Adaptec 154x, Adaptec 174x in "standard" mode, Future
Domain 16x0, Seagate ST0x, Ultrastor 14F, and Western Digital
7000FASST are supported. Various Adaptec clones from Bustek
and Future Domain are known to work, in both ISA and EISA flavors.
Some patches for Future Domain TMC 950 boards were posted to the net.
These will be incorporated into the "Standard" SCSI release RSN.
If your board is not on this list, or not compatable with something
on this list, it won't work. Period.
Recent information also shows that there is a hardware bug in
some 174x's that keeps them from working properly in "standard"
mode, enhanced mode (not supported under Linux) is fine.
-- Microsoft is responsible for propogating the evils it calls DOS and Windows, IBM for AIX (appropriately called Aches by those having to administer it), but marketing's sins don't come close to those of legal departments. Boycott AT&T for their absurd anti-BSDI lawsuit.
