The 152x series (this is what Adaptec calles its AIC-6360 based carsd) is supported, but from what I've heard the driver is very flakey, and the card itself is very slow (even for an ISA card). Your best bet would probably be a Buslogic adapter or an Adaptec 1542C[F,P]. > btw, how do you guys get programming information for the various drivers > you guys write? i called IOMEGA about coding a driver for thier 2gig > Ditto drive and a bunch of drones put me on hold forever then told me > they don't release specs on thier hardware... i find this hard to belive > as the ZIP drive is supported by various Unices... AFAIK, they have a very low end Adaptec AIC (most probably 6360) based card that they bundle with their SCSI drives. The information for this is most probably available from Adaptec themselves. - alex
