I have been using SCSI with Linux for many years now. I have gotten the
best results with Adaptec card and recently with the Mylex RAID cards.
If you want an inexpensive SCSI card find an old AHA-154x card. They have
been stable with Linux for hundreds of kernel revisions. I also have have
great results with the 294x series. The 394x series gave me some problems
a while back, but you would probably have no use for those.
The Mylex 1100 RAID adapter is singing away nicely in a couple of Dell
servers that I have put together recently. I just ordered an old Compaq
ProLiant 5500 (gotta love those auction sites!) so I will be happy to let
you know about those if you want :) Gotta love PPro SMP Linux!
