casting my electrons to the solar winds .... Hi group, Does anyone have a Castlewood ORB drive ( scsi or parallel ) working under 7.0+ ? I thought I would hook up the old scsi drive for archiving, but I dont see any info about it on Castlewood.com ( no drivers, software or any other suchlike things) It would be very handy to use it for backups of critical work related materials. Especially if the drive wouldn't have to be formated in some way readable only to another linux box. That would be most helpful as the world still seems to be dominated by Windows users who dont even know there are any other operating systems .

** Reply to message from jfweber@eternal.net on Sat, 27 Jan 2001 12:18:04 -0500 I have a scsi internal ORB. As long as my BIOS recognized it and I had a driver loaded for the scsi card (Adaptec 2940U2W), SuSE sees it as harddrive sda5. I have not been successful, nor do I care to, changing the partition from 5 to sda1. I don't fully understand why it is this way, but it works. In kernel, I built in the aic7xxx driver and in fstab, I listed it as "/dev/sda5 /mnt/orb ext2 sync,user 0 0".
