1 x Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI card.
Does it have a driver?
All the Linux distributions that I've used 'know about' Adaptec SCSI cards, at least if you install with the hardware in place. I'm sure you can add Adaptec SCSI with modules anyway.
Arbut - butbutbut - the machine would be a multi-OS one. It already runs Debian, Win 98 and Win 98SE, and when I can get it to stick, it will have Win 2000 on it too, and might even have OS2. (Also has CP/M - but that's emulated.)
Debian found everything (AFAICT) that is on the box. I only asked, because WIN 98 won't find what I suspect is a rather younger S3 display driver, and I have a lot of smallish SCSI drives on an old Apricot server, and I don't really *NEED* three full towers under my desk.
(I haven't at the moment - one of them died, but I hope that's not a permanent state of affairs.
