Hi!
The ethernet chip onboard it is fine (same as Eexpress 100B series), but the
scsi-chip is pretty new adaptec piece and I think it is supported in 2.0.34-pre
patches (and 2.1 series for sure). Beware that there is only one wide-scsi
connector onboard and no narrow connectors. So for narrow devices I'd suggest
some cheap ncr/symbios based pci card (at worse one wide to narrow converter
can cost just as much).
Are you thinking about the 'RC440LX' kits or machines built from parts ?
