After extensive experience with this card, I can report that it is possible
to get the card recognised by the system but I failed completely to get the
equipment plugged in to it to be recognised.
Eventually I gave up and spent thirty quid ($45) on an Advansys card which
was recognised immediately along with the tape drive plugged in to it.
If you want to give it a go then e-mail me and I will send some further
details.

Hello,
my Adaptec AHA 1510 SCSI adapter(ISA bus) is not being detected at install,
so cannot install mandrake 8.0!!
The Adaptec 1510 is not in the Hardware database, but a very similar model,
Adaptec AHA 1520
(also ISA bus) *is* in the database as reported to be supported, but not
as tested by mandrake team.
The install program gives a list of drivers and asks which of these should
be used to detect the SCSI adapter. 3 of these are AHA, but none are the
exact model. However I feel that one of these will probably work. After I
try them though, it then asks for parameters, and I do not know what to
type next.
I have used windows device manager to find the I/O range and IRQ, but I am
not sure in what form/syntax to pass these paramaters to the install
program and/or kernel, or even if these are the paramaters it wants!
Finally, I also read somewhere (actually, it was in the install guide) that
if your ISA card is PnP then you may have to reset the card to non PnP
using the floppy that came with it from the manufacturer. I have this
floppy and may be able to do this, but am unsure how to do it, if it's
really necessary, or really what I'm doing at all at this stage!
What should my next step be??
Thanks
Wendy Langer
