Hello, my Adaptec AHA 1510 SCSI adapter(ISA bus) is not being detected at install, so cannot install mandrake 8.0!! The Adaptec 1510 is not in the Hardware database, but a very similar model, Adaptec AHA 1520 (also ISA bus) *is* in the database as "reported to be supported", but not as "tested by mandrake team". The install program gives a list of drivers and asks which of these should be used to detect the SCSI adapter. 3 of these are AHA, but none are the exact model. However I feel that one of these will probably work. After I try them though, it then asks for parameters, and I do not know what to type next. I have used windows device manager to find the I/O range and IRQ, but I am not sure in what form/syntax to pass these paramaters to the install program and/or kernel, or even if these are the paramaters it wants! Finally, I also read somewhere (actually, it was in the install guide) that if your ISA card is PnP then you may have to reset the card to non PnP using the floppy that came with it from the manufacturer. I have this floppy and may be able to do this, but am unsure how to do it, if it's really necessary, or really what I'm doing at all at this stage! What should my next step be??
