Bingo - there's your problem... > the SRM is the latest one posted for eb164 on the Compaq website. Don't know > what the date of this is.

No. Adaptec drivers were only very recently included in SRM consoles; AFAIK, all the EV6 boxes, and the LX and SX, support (some of) the Adaptec cards. I am not sure that any U2W cards are supported, or if so, on which. Sorry, I think your best bet is to stick with ARC/MILO, unless you can find another SCSI card (NCR810 would be fine, IIRC). I don't believe IDE (for booting anyway) is an option, on EB164. --Jay++ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay A Estabrook Alpha Engineering - LINUX Project Compaq Computer Corp. - MRO1-2/K20 (508) 467-2080 200 Forest Street, Marlboro MA 01752 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
