Hello, world ! I've got a special problem : I've got a 386sx, one 80MB Seagate ST296 SCSI HD, and I want to run SCO UNIX or SCO XENIX -386 on it; Unix does not work with the HostAdapter ST02 from SEAGATE. With which Host Adapter does Unix work correctly ? Do I need drivers ? (I've heard from the Adaptec AHA 1542 or 1522 ?!?! ) Thanks a lot for quick answering !

MicroNet's adaptor is supposedly device driver compatable with the Adaptec. The Seagate adaptors are very dumb boards, only sufficient for running MS-DOS with a SCSI drive. // JCA /* **--------------------------------------------------------------------------* ** Flames : /dev/null | Small memory model only for ** ARPANET : crash!pnet01!jca@nosc.mil | Unix?
