hallo, I've recently inherited a 486 PC vintage 1991 with an Adaptec AHA154x SCSI adapter. I decided to use it as a try out for Redhat 5.0. Installation went very well. As a beginner it's the only thing I think I've managed to master!! It is however very, very slow. Checking through the Adaptec home page I see that the drivers have been updated as recently as 1996. I downloaded the relevant ones. Now my problems -as I said I'm a beginner. 1. I downloaded onto DOS formatted disks. How do I get the stuff into the computer? How do I activate these drivers? 2. can it be expected to bring any performance improvement? 3 As I saw during installation Linux doesn't seem to bother much about what drivers are installed. How can I make sure that it "gets"my new ones? Hope that that isn't too much at once and someone can help. In advance, thanks. This leads me on to the v#broader questionof whether I can expect to, and if so how I can squeeze a little bit of performance from this old box. It only has ISA slots!! Please confirm receipt.
