Currently running 3 relatively low cost PCI scsi host adapters in my
linux boxes; all work flawlessly:
Symbios card with sym53c810a chipset - using sym53c8xx driver - Iomega
Zip100, CD-R, CD-RW, IBM DALS-3540 hard drive
Adaptec 2920 - uses fdomain driver - CD-RW
Iwill 2935UW - uses INI9100 driver - IBM DNES-309170W hard drive
The first two are scsi 2 cards, the latter scsi 3 capable. The first and
last cards share an interrupt with zero problems. Currently running
kernel 2.4.0-ac7 but previously ran flawlessly on the 2.2.x series. I
have had no buffer underruns while burning CDs with either of the first
two cards and would not expect any with the latter if I decided to hook
my burner up to it. I use gcombust as a frontend to mkisofs, cdrecord,
etc., but there are a lot more tools out there. As an aside, I have moved
all our office CD burning at work off Win-based machines onto a linux
box. Faster burn rates with zero coasters.
