Zeos on-board SCSI, will it work?

Post by Dan Cou » Tue, 24 Jan 1995 02:24:08



In my quest for a better system I'm considerng a Zeos Pentium90. I have a
concern that the SCSI adapter built into the motherboard won't be
supported by Linux. Does anyone know if this does in fact work?

Somewhat related to this - the system has a Quad-speed CD ROM. Are any
quad-speed CDs supported by Linux yet? If so which ones?

The ZEOS Pantera Pentium/90 system I bought back in May has an
Adaptec AIC6360 on the motherboard.  The standard AHA-152x driver
seems to work very well with this chip--I've not had any problems with
it at all, with any of the many kernel versions I've run.

Can't help you here I'm afraid.

: I believe that the onboard SCSI used in the current P90 systems uses an AMD
: chip which is currently unsupported.  You may be able to request the
: Adaptec chip instead.

: It's a Mitsumi ATAPI (IDE) 4x CDROM.  I believe it is supported in recent
: kernels.

I have a Zeos Pantera 66 and the on board scsi is an Adaptec 6360.  I
haven't installed Linux yet, but I plan to try.  Has anybody installed
it using a 6360?

I have a Zeos Pantera P-90 with the AIC 6360 chip.  I've run
Linux-1.0.9 and various versions from 1.1.50 up to the current
1.1.84 on it using the aha152x driver with no problems.  I have
SCSI disk, tape, and CD-ROM running error free as far as I know.
I've tried to help people with the AMD chip, but without success
so far.

I have an "old" Zeos 486/33 with the 6260 chip and everything works
beautifully with the aha152x driver.  Just tell LILO/kernel where to
find the chip and you'll be up and running..

Yes . . . I have a Pantera 90 with the 6360 chip.  Linux installed
right out of the box (Slackware 2.1) for me.

1. Zeos On-board SCSI and Linux

My lab is thinking of buying some Pentium 90 PC's to run Linux. We'd
like to have as many PCI slots open as possible, and so one option we
thought was interesting is the latest Zeos Pantera machines. These
machines have an on-board Fast SCSI-2 plus ethernet option through a
single AMD AM53C974 chip.

Is there any Linux support for this chip (SCSI or ethernet)? Is it
similar to the on-board NCR chip everyone is talking about (I think
it's the NCR53c810)?

Also: is there any Linux support for enhanced IDE?

What mainstream computer manufacturers offer motherboards with the NCR
chip socket?


Thanks in advance,

-Joe
