I am using RH 5.2 and want to install a ISA PnP Adaptec 1542CP
controller to it. But I don't know what to do after I put the card in.
Anyone can tell me how to do it?
Thanks.

Here is what I have done to get an Adaptec 1542cf card recognized:Quote:> I am using RH 5.2 and want to install a ISA PnP Adaptec 1542CP

1st. find out what the base I/O of the card is with SCSI card utilities
(ctrl+a in my case).
or
use windoz to look up the properties of the card. In windoz the
Input/Output range of my card is 0230-0233 in hex.
2nd. Use info about to specify parameters for the card. In my case,
when I am asked about the having SCSI cards I select yes and
specify options with bases=0x230-0x233 as input.
That worked great for RH4.2-5.2. RH6.0 is another story :( ...
Hope this helps
1. looking for external scsi hard disk to go with adaptec aha1542cp
I'm aware that the aha1542cp has an 8 bit bus and only supports hard
drives up to 8GB.
It appears to be getting difficult to get drives that 'small', indeed
scsi 2 drives at that.
I'd like to know what options I have for connecting a hard drive to this
card.
I presume I could connect >8GB, I'd just not be able to access all of it
- is there any way around this? The drive will be linux only.
The card has a 50pin high-density connector (already happily connected
to an HP scanner). It supports up to Fast-scsi (2).
What options do I have for the flavour of scsi hard drive, e.g. I know
you can connect a scsi 1 device to a scsi 2 adaptor (by and large), what
am I limited to connecting to this adaptor?
Does anyone have any recommendations of drive to use with this adaptor?
Thanks in advance, Guy.
