A local computer dealer suggested I buy an Asus P55T2P4S (on-board
Adaptec 7880 SCSI controller) instead of the P55T2P4 and a separate
Buslogic SCSI controller. Is anyone out there running Linux on the S
version of this board? Any gotchas?

Thanks.

Jim

We are an Asus dealer, and though my personal preference is for the T2P4
plus BusLogic 958, there are no problems at all with the T2P4S that
we've heard of. Go for it.

Why do Linux questions come in "streaks" like this?
This is really spooky, and it happens all the time.
You will go for weeks without hearing about a certain piece of hardware,
then out of the blue, BAM! out comes a dozen identical questions, and
all becomes quiet once more.

Well, just to answer both questions, that is the chipset for the
Adaptec 2940 card, which is supported in Linux.
