> I installed an ATTO UL2D SCSI card in my beige 266 rev 1. UL2D cards are a strange beast.
They have two indepdent SCSI processing cores plus a PCI bridge. These should appear as: Multifunc-device, vendor ID -1, and card model -1 ASP cannot see past the card's PCI bridge to see what the card really is. Which is only part of the problem with these cards. Although there are places for two external VHDCI connectors, only the one for Bus 0 is stuffed (on most examples), and of the two internal connectors, only the one for Bus 1 is sufffed (again, on most examples). To reliably boot from this card, you must stuff the empty internal connector, in order to have an internal Bus 0 device. Optionally, you can use an external device, as that is also Bus 0. Booting from the card's Bus 1 is problematical at best. The earlier ExpressPCI DC would show up as two SCSI cards, both being in the same slot, and it didn't have these issues. Also, both VDHCI connectors and both internal conectors were stuffed (on most examples). Trying to stuff the empty VHDCI connector slot (which is Bus 1) is difficult, tedious work, and may lead to a nonfunctional board. This card auto-terminates the host adapter, and only in extreme cases is it absoluely necessary to terminate the last device. The main advantage of this card is it is 64-bits and LVD/SE. A seecondary advantage of this card is it is two completely independent SCSI cards, sharing one PCI slot (and, therefore, needing only one PCI slot). -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
