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

It depends on the the card. It may claim to be an adaptec card, and may use adaptec chips, but often times, vendors customize these cards, or more accurately, strip them down. I've read code comments from at least one kernel maintainer making fun of scsi cards that come bundled free with other

If I remember correctly, the 1502 is a Future Domain card that Adaptec repackaged when they bought FD. If you cannot get any of the Adaptec drivers to work, try the FD drivers. Warren On Mon, 6 Dec 1999, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It depends on the the card. It may claim to be an adaptec

Buslogic cards are probably the oldest and best supported scsi cards around. They have speed limitations though, but if all you are doing as backing up data to a tape drive, you probably wouldn't even notice. Buslogic cards are also pretty cheap these days. Adaptec cards are currently well
