Hi!

I was thinking of installing a SCSI HD in the alpha I just get.
I found an Adaptec 2940UW but it seems the PC164 BIOS doesn't
support the card.

If I type "show dev" I can't see the SCSI HD in the list.

Anyone got one working on a PC164?
Anyone has maybe an idea of what I should do to make it work?

Thanks a lot !

Your SRM doesn't support the card (very few do). If you can boot from
a different device, you can still use the card in Linux.

Hum thought so. Thanks for confirming.

I am looking for mylex one or a card with a symbios chipset.
Kinda hard to find though (switzerland).

Maybe I'll boot off a small IDE HD.

Don't get too new on the symbios though. I have a PC164 and a PC164LX, and
my 895 card will only work in the LX machine. The 875 card works fine in
both though.
