Despite all the installation problems people have had with these cards I
succesfully installed Debian on a new PIII from the standard boot disks
and it worked fine. there are now 2 in that system and they are working
great.
You should check the SCSI select settings at boot time just to check they
are ok, especially the termination settings and which cables you have
plugged into it etc.
Good luck!
