[SNIP] Basically, I only use SCSI devices on my computers. It may just be psychological or something, but I find SCSI to be much more reliable and faster. So, this is my idea for my next system:
Processor: Intel Pentium II 400/450 Motherboard: ASUS P2B-LS BX Motherboard with on-board Adaptec AHA-2940U2W (Ultra2 Wide SCSI) & Intel 10/100 Ethernet Card Memory: 128 MB PC100 SDRAM Graphics Card: ?!? (AGP?!?) Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 9.1 GB Ultra Wide or Ultra2 Wide SCSI hard drive CD-ROM: Plextor UltraPlex 14X/32X Internal SCSI CD-R/W: Yamaha 2X CD-RW/4X CD-R/6X Read External SCSI Modem: External Motorola 56K ModemSURFR Sound Card: Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold
My understanding is that driver support for the 2940U2W is still under development. The drivers for 2940UW may work. I suggest, post your query in comp.os.linux.hardware news group as well
Next on my list, I was wondering how possible it would be to multi-boot between these three operating systems: S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3, Windows NT Server 4.0, & _Novell Intranetware 4.11_. I've seen the How-To's for booting between Linux & NT, but I haven't noticed anything mentioning Novell. I'm not even really sure if it's possible to multi-boot with Novell, but I'm just assuming it must be possible somehow. If anyone has any ideas or has a similar situation on their computer, I'd love to know how it can be accomplished. I'd also like to hear some suggestions on how to partition the drive, including the different directories for Linux, and possibly any ideas for NT (separate the O/S & data/apps?!?...put O/S on FAT 16 & data on NTFS or vice versa?!?)
Don't know if Novell has similar restriction as that of Win9x i.e. must be in the first primary partition of the HD. If not, then you can install it say in /dev/sda4 and include a section in lilo.conf other=/dev/sda4 for Novell in addition to a section for NT (say in /dev/sda1) which would be declared as other=/dev/sda1. I think this logic would work. As for partition advice, there has been some previous discussion on the topic; suggest browsing the archives on SuSE's Web site.
