Hi,

I use a notebook with a single disk. Periodically I need to swtich
between FreeBSD, Linux & WfW (yuck).  This means exchanging hard disks -
pain.

Does anyone know of a PCMCIA SCSI adapter which is supported on either
/both of the UNIXes so that I can boot from a SCSI disk attached using
this card (perhaps the Adaptec 1460??) ?

If not, anyone got other ideas ?


TIA
Suart
