Very Computer

I would appreciate you(linux users) to mail me if there exists any
version of "linux" which supports my PC hardware configuration.

                NONE...failure with flashpoint LT.  There is
no support for the Flashpoint cards from Buslogic and probably
won't be any for a while.  There is a deal to turn in a Flashpoint
and get a 948 (I think) for $50 from Buslogic.

Leonard Zubkoff (he wrote the BusLogic SCSI driver kernel patch - nice!) has
said that while Buslogic remains committed to providing him with the technical
data required to write the drivers for their regular cards, they are not
currently and have no plans to release the technical data pertaining to the
Flashpoint LT.

I swapped my LT for the 948 and installed Leonard's BusLogic driver (the stock
SCSI driver works fine - his seems to cruise a bit quicker), and everything
works fine.  It's $45, and you will need to call the BusLogic RMA department.
I spoke mostly with a wonderfully pleasant person named Mimi Franks who bent
over backwards to get things settled.

Cheers
