I assume that it is along the same line as the > 2940/3940/etc, but ... ? No, these are the old, old AIC-6xx sequencer-based interfaces. These are the old chips on the 152x series of controllers, and generally didn't have a BIOS or support scatter-gather, etc.. Some sound cards have these chips, some of the first SCSI motherboards, and most interface cards that came with HP ScanJet scanners. Unless you have INT 13 BIOS on the card that chains itself in as part of POST whent he machine is turned on, you can't use this things for booting, etc.. The BSD driver has been there for these things for a long time. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
