Very Computer

Anyone can provide info on how to setup a CompaqXL/566 are welcomed.  Linux
can't detect the SCSI interface on the DeskproXL and says that no SCSI device
found.  Probably a Driver is required.  Any comment?

Thanks & regards,
Johnny

You should take a look at
http://www-c724.nibk.ac.at/XL/

But I think you will need a system which runs linux, if you have more then
16 MB of RAM in your Compaq.

Best regards,
Christian

Check out sunsite.unc.edu (or a mirror thereof)
/pub/Linux/kernel/patches/scsi/AM53C974-0.3.tar.gz
I don't know if this applies to you, it does apply to some recent
Compaq Pentiums with built-in SCSI.

There is one pre-built kernel image in that file that is supposed
to work with Compaq.  I use that driver on a Zeos Pantera 90, and
had to compile it myself.  Runs great.

I'm very sorry, that should have been
http://www-c724.uibk.ac.at/XL/

That is the official CompaqXL-howto.

Very much luck (I think you will need it),
Christian
