Ron....after I left the last message about the 1520 not having a
bootable bios I read on in the thread and decided to go back to
the adaptec web site and look further. Well, yes the 1520B has
a bootable bios, but what I was reading made me wonder about the
Linux support and drivers. I suggest you check out the Linux
drivers and see who wrote them and if they suppoert the 1520b as
well as the 1520. Also take a look at the info at adeptec and
consider talking with their supoert people. Below is an
interesting page on their web site.
