Re: surplus computer
I have had an old Vesa Local Bus BusLogic SCSI card on a 486 host running 2.4.9-31 for weeks without problems. I've had it for years running linux and never seen any problems. I had three SCSI drives and a SCSI CDROM in it. It's been the most solid system I've owned. Unfortunately, it simply can't keep up with all the stuff on it and last week it was retired. I never tried connecting a scanner to it though.

Re: Re: surplus computer
Thanks to everyone for their input especially the offer of a scsi card for shipping. I already had ordered a 2940 off of ebay for $11.00. Hopefully I can get the scanner up and running I am looking forward to seeing how it works under Linux.

Re: surplus computer
FWIW, I have several PC's running 2.14.17 and using Buslogic BT930's I picked up on E-bay for under $10. I have HP DAT drives hooked to them. No problems (that I have seen), backups are verifying fine.

Nice card. I have the 2940UW and U2W, and I like them, a lot.

Will a Buslogic BT-946C scsi card work to operate a scsi scanner. It shows as a supported scsi card but I do not know if all cards will work for all devices? Thanks Linda Hanigan If it's any help, you pay shipping and I have a couple of old Adaptec 1505/1510 (aha152x) cards laying around. I know they work and I used one of them on a Microtek scanner I used to have (until the scanning light became intermittent). It's a little slower card, and it requires you to insert the proper parameters into modules.conf, but they're dead simple to enter. And, except for shipping, it's free. Contact me privately if you want one. -- Disclaimer: Elvis would agree with me, but he's got dirt in his mouth. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
