American Megatrends Express 200(466) single channel raid works fine. But
since you can get some fairly huge scsi drives nowadays, why bother with
raid at all? I have a few 73.4gb drives running on one adaptec 2940, and
have had no problems whatsoever. I agree with John Lemay...throw the raid
card out!
btw, luv the grue tag....was that Zork (showing my age)?

Sounds like an Adaptec RAID controller. From what I've seen, there are no
Linux
drivers for it. Rip it out, replace it with a 2940 or some other non-raid
SCSI
controller. If you want raid, take a look at the Mylex adapters. Make sure
you
know what SCSI you are running. By the description of the box, I'd say Wide
SCSI
or something from that "generation". Pull the model numbers from the drives
and
dounble check the vendor's site (unless they happen to be Micropolis or
another
long-gone SCSI vendor from the mid-90's heyday of SCSI).
