Gregory, Thanks for your help but I am afraid this didn't work either. The installation process hangs up right after the following line is displayed: (scsi0) Downloading sequencer code...419 instructions downloaded. I know there is a driver that works since I found a RedHat installation disks that does it right. Now if there was only a way to install Debian and tell it not to look for SCSI cards, I could at least install the system. As it stands now, I am basically stuck. Avi "Gregory T.
