There are many NCR 53c810 PCI SCSI controller around the world, the SC-200 has been detected having problem with certain motherboard, such as Intel PT-2000. Other NCR 53c810 PCI SCSI controllers work with most motherboards and have not been found having problems yet. If the jumper setting will not help, you may try other NRC controllers, which are also less expensive the SC-200 board. -- /-------------- Jin Guojun ------------ v ---- Internet: g_jin@lbl.gov ----\ | Imaging & Distributed Computing | Usenet: ucbvax!g_jin@lbl.gov | | Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory | Bitnet: -- | | 50B-2239, Berkeley, CA 94720 - jin%george.lbl.gov@Csa3.LBL.Gov |
