I have a PPA module that works fine, but I have all other scsi
drivers (scsi, sd, sr, etc) in the kernel with a Buslogic as my main
SCSI card. I load a aha1542 module (which holds DAT drive and
external CDROM) and finally load the PPA module, which works fine.
All with kernel 2.0.30 thru 2.0.32.
I have since tried to install a zip dirve on a laptop that only has a
IDE hard drive an no previous SCSI support. I tried just to build
modules (scsi_mod, sd_mod, ppa) and load in that order. No luck.
Next I am going to try to install SCSI_MOD and SD_MOD into the kernel
and simply load PPA as a module.
