I've checked the lists and I still have a question(s) about getting an appropriate SCSI card.
I need to install a tape drive (SCSI 160) in a DELL box running SuSE 9.2 and I'm totally confused on which or what SCSI card to purchase. Can someone please make some recommendations?
Frank, I'd say that just about any U160 card would do for a tape drive. Just see to that the PCI bus is compatible with your motherboard.
Personally I prefer Adaptec when it comes to SCSI, their "Adaptec SCSI Card 29160" ( would be an excellent choice for best compatibility with other hardware.
I use a lot of Adaptec 2906 cards (AIC7xxx compatible) for tape drives. I think they would be cheaper than the 29160's.
