Re: [SLE] Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller anyone?

I want to go SCSI so I'm buying a new controller and two hard-disks. My motherboard is: ASUS TUV4X. I went to the Adaptec website and it seems the only adapter I can buy (for my motherboard) is an Ultra160 model: 29160.

Is there anyone running this card on SUSE 9-10b? I see a couple of Linux drivers on the Adaptec site but they're for SUSE 7.3 and 8.2 (nothing more recent).

For one thing, the drivers would typically not be distribution specific, but kernel (2.2/4/6) specific. For another, the 29160 still uses an aic7xxx chip (I think it's an AIC-7892), so the existing drivers are fine. Anyway, I wouldn't worry - you can even get 29160s quite cheaply on ebay. /Per Jessen, Zürich
