Hi Debian Users:
The question is: can I use SCSI disk drives currently running with an
Adaptec 2840 SCSI controller with Bus Logic controller?
What about SCSI tapes: can a SCSI tape made on a tape drive with one
controller be read with the same tape drive run with another (SCSI)
controller? (Reason suggests the affirmative, but reason
unfortunately does not always prevail.)
Machine Details:
Old machine: 486 16 MB Ram, 2840 SCSI controller, several SCSI drives
and a 3080 tape for backup.
The new machine has a K6-2 350; Mother Board: GBT Technology GA-5AX,
INTEL Aladdin AGP chip set, 512K L2 cache, running at 100MHz; 128 MB
RAM; 10G fast IDE; Mitsumi 32x FX series ide CD ROM; Yamaha ISA sound
card; 8 MB AGP 3d video card (SiS 6326); and a 56kifxsp internal
modem. By all guesses, it is a WIN modem. :( Anybody really know?
I have another modem known not to be a WIN moedm :)
I'll put Frozen on the new machine sometime this week.
Questions restated: I need to move the data from the old machine to
the new one. I'd like to be able to use the tape drive and some of the
SCSI disks with a Bus Logic or other SCSI controller. Will I be able
to use the disks unchanged on the machines with a Bus Logic SCSI
controller? What about reading the tape drives?
