SCSI Motherboard recommendation?

Post by Quin » Wed, 03 Dec 1997 04:00:00



I'm building my first Linux Box and plan on using Red Hat 5.0.   I will be
using SCSI devices almost exclusively.  

Any advice, experiences or recommendations would be welcome.

Many thanks,

Quincy

haven't used scsi much, but if there's one thing I've learned from lurking
here, it's stay away from adaptec, and go buslogic - they support linux,
while adaptec doesn't.

1. looking for recommendations of Pentium SCSI motherboard

I'm about to upgrade my 486 to a pentium, and considering a choice of
motherboards.  I'm not intending to go to the top of the range.

I'd like a board with an on-board SCSI controller, supported by linux, and
without the RAM caching limit that I think some motherboards have.

Would the Asus P55T2P4S board cover my needs?

Currently running 32MB, and with 3 SCSI devices which may be increased to
4, running off an adaptec 1522A controller, hence the interest in using
a faster controller.

Any hints, warnings or other advice would be appreciated, as would other
motherboards, if the ASUS board might cause me problems.
