Very Computer

A couple of days ago I tried to install Linux (infomagic's Oct. '94
release) on the following system:

Vobis 486 DX2 66, VLB/ISA, 16 Mb ram,
1 IDE drive (unknown), 1 EIDE (IDE mode) WD AC 2540 (540Mb) caviar (new)
NEC 3x CDROM drive with a NEC CD160 SCSI hostadaptor.

This NEC SCSI adaptor is not recognized by any of the boot-disks for scsi
Also the latest scsi boot disks from ftp.infomagic.com don't work.

However under DOS i noticed the following: The SCSI adaptor card was
fired up with a Trantor T160/T260 SCSI driver for Dos...

I'm almost desperate trying to install Linux...
Any Trantor of NEC scsi specialists outthere?

Any Info will help!

Robert

We should all start a club. I have not been able to get any of the boot
kernels to recognize my Trantor T160 Controller either.

I have been told by Linux gray heads that a list of SCSI controller
compatibility exists somewhere. I have not found it yet

Thanks for any help,
