I have one of those (but it definitely it not a Mac version). I don't actually use it, so I took out the 2906 and replaced it with the 2940. Not sure exactly what version it is. I don't have a 7600, but a fairly old 400MHz G4 Yikes! $ lspci 0000:01:03.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-2940U/UW/D / AIC-7881U [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc/scsi/aic7xxx$ cat 1 Adaptec AIC7xxx driver version: 6.2.36 Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter aic7880: Ultra Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs It seems to handle my old scsi drive fine (connected to the 50 pin connector): Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda7 970M 456M 465M 50% /mnt/sda7 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/sda7$ ls -al total 56 drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 1024 2000-01-29 16:41 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2005-05-08 19:53 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 2000-01-29 18:30 bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 1996-02-06 13:04 boot drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 2000-01-29 18:39 dev drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 2048 2000-01-29 18:38 etc drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 2005-05-08 17:47 home drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 2048 2000-01-29 17:40 lib drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 2000-01-29 16:33 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2000-01-29 17:30 mach_servers drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 2000-01-29 18:32 mnt drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 2000-01-29 17:12 opt dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 1996-02-06 13:04 proc drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 2000-01-29 18:38 root drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 2000-01-29 18:09 sbin drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 1024 2000-01-29 18:37 tmp drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 1024 2000-01-29 18:11 usr drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 1024 2000-01-29 18:29 var Anyone interested in a mklinux installation dating back to early 2000 ? > - There seem to be 2 versions of these cards the AHA-2940U2W and > APD-2940U2W being the windows/unix version and the apple version. Can > both be used with debian/pm6700 or do I need a specific kind? I'm definitely not an expert here, but I dont think linux uses the onboard ROM anyway, so it shouldn't matter.
