Very Computer

I've just been bequeathed an Intel X-series computer which apparently
has a SCSI controler integrated into its motherboard. The SCSI
controller is build around the Adaptec AIC-7770 SCSI chip, so I
had high hopes of being able to use it under Linux.

However, when I try to boot up Linux (Slackware) it doesn't find any
SCSI drives.

Anybody able to help? Thanks.

Nope.

As expected. The Adaptec AIC-7770 is currently unsupported. Some one
has documentation on the chip, and will be writing a driver for it when
they get the time.
