So none here use BeOS here ??

If you've gotten no response then probably not, or if there is someone, they probably don't have an E100 card. I don't remember all of your original question, but one thing to check is whether BeOS supports the Jackhammer UW SCSI card.


The SCSI portion of the E100 is identical to a PCI UW Jackhammer card, so if the latter is supported then the E100 will work as a SCSI card with BeOS.

You probably won't be able to get the ethernet portion to work with BeOS regardless because it requires a hack to Open Firmware to basically make the machine think it has another PCI slot (I think that's what it does). And it requires an ethernet driver specifically written for it.

However, you could examine the card. The E100 uses a fairly common ethernet chip. If that chip is supported under BeOS, then there is a chance that you could get it to work but it would almost certainly require some software hacking down at the Open Firmware level.

I hope that helps. I know it's kind of vague.
