It was Nov 10, 2000, 17:40, when Eugene C. Zesch keyboarded: network card SCSI card I have no experience with SCSI, but I've used several 3COM cards. If you can go with 10Meg, the 3C509 is reliable and can be found for $10-15 on the surplus market. I've never had a problem with any 3COM card being recognized by Linux. I use an adaptec 2940UW card, works great. I am sure also the cheaper ones will work, support for 17xx and 21xx is in Linux. I use a real cheap Realtek card, 8139 chipset I think. Every distro I ever used works with it.

Hmm, just out of curiosity, on that SCSI card you're using... Is it SCSI2, wide, ultra-wide, etc, etc,...I'm going to be using a Yamaha CDRW with it, so what you would you recommend as far as transfer rates go? (yep, I know faster is better, but I'm not going to be doing the server route so...) Thanks! -- /\ DarkLord \/
