I have an old AHA-2940 card. modules loaded: scsi_mod, sd_mod, st, sg, ide-scsi, aic7xxx These work with 2.4.17-386; I haven't checked it yet with 2.4.18. "modprobe st" may be all you need to do. ide-scsi is loaded because my tape drive is actually ide device. I think sd_mod is needed for zip drive and not tape but am not sure. Jerome
