An Adaptec 29160 that I bought for one of my (older) FreeBSD platforms didn't fit. It probably will fit into the new PC that I'm installing SuSE on. This new system is fairly limited for my needs and I'd like to add some SCSI devices. So the nutshell of my question: Does Linux (or SuSE's implementation) work with both the IDE and SCSI interface?
thanks for any help!

Yes. I'm using scsi Jazz and CD-RW via EATA-DPT scsi card on my predominantly IDE system -- no problems. You just have to have scsi and ide support compiled in or as modules.
It'll be awhile before I'm comfortable enough with the kernel-side of SuSE//Linux to touch anything on the kernel level. I've hacked at and rebuilt my FreeBSD kernels dozens of times....but have been using FBSD for 5 years. I did try Slackware on a 386SX laptop (1993); and Debian (1997); but not in any depth. If I can figure out howto run Linux ``headless'' (without CRT || keyboard), I'll probably have a couple boxes in here :) gary -- Gary D.
