Very Computer

I have an NEC 3Xe CDROM that I would like to get working with Linux. Under DOS,
I was using the SCSI port on a ProAudioSpectrum 16 sound card, but I bought
the NEC 16-bit AT160 adaptor because the PAS SCSI didn't support the
triple-speed capability.  Now, to the questions.

First, can an NEC 3Xe be used at all with Linux?
Can the NEC 16-bit AT160 be used (given that the address is known) with
already written drivers?
If not, I know that the kernel recognizes the PAS16 (in fact, I already recompiled
it just to see if it would work), so, would the 3Xe work with it.  I found a NEC 260 patch
at Sunsite, but the 3Xe is something like the CDR-500.  As you can tell, I need some
guidance.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  BTW, I have read the CD-ROM
HOW-TO.

I am using an Nec 4xi, Micropolis 2112 gig HD, Syquest 105 MB and they are
connected to an 8 bit NEC AT160 scsi controller and this works fine with
Linux. I hope this helps...
