Greetings Debians, It's time I do scsi. I've wanted to for as long as I can remember but I've always been a little chicken to dive into it. Well no more. I'd like some recommendations from those of you on this list that use scsi. Here is what I am thinking about so far... Card: Adaptec 2940U2W (with 2.4.0-test8 kernel) <- linux.com claims support in 2.2x kernels so I assume 2.4 will also Now I've looked at the scsi section in menuconfig and I cannot find any reference to any 2940 cards though linux.com's articles say that kernel 2.2 you can use and compile the low-level drivers in. What am I missing here that i cannot find them? CD ROM/Burner A Plextor RW PX-W12432Ti/SW <- a 12/4/32 (write/re-write/read) cdrom for burning cd's and general cdrom usage HardDrive 2 seagate ST39175LW barricudda's which are 9.1Gb ultra2 wide scsi 7200 rpm drives. I was figuring one for linux and one for windows (gotta game fellas). Any/all comments or suggestions to avoid "gotcha's" would be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time. My intent here is to jump into as much performance as I can "reasonably" afford. Regards, Bill
