Advansys ABP940-UA. Unfortunately, the BIOS options are
rather skimpy on that card. I wish it had more options
similar to the Adaptec cards, but at least it's not nearly
as expensive as Adaptec, and MUCH better supported in
Linux. :-)

And I appreciate it. It was sold to me as a 9.1 GB scsi, so
that may be the capacity of it. However, the PDF file for
that drive (based on the model number sticker, NOT by what
it is reported as in Linux) says it's a 10.5 Gig drive.
*shrug* I can't find anything on the model number it
reports back in the SCSI BIOS.
