If you use initial ramdisks, then you can use SCSI w/o recompiling the

In response to an earlier, valid comment that the SCSI adapter may not be

In the on-board BIOS for the Adaptec card itself. Assuming
you HAVE a SCSI bios. I think someone said your card
doesn't have BIOS.

Spin up might be a drive jumper and (IIRC) an option in the adapter setup.
Bootable is an adapter BIOS setup (like spin up).

Sorry, but this answer is just wrong.
The scsi support is loaded as a module right after boot time. I have
installed several versions of Mandrake on sytems with only scsi

There are no 1024 issues with SCSI. In your SCSI adaptor configuration you
