Re: [TCLUG:3873] SCSI Adapter

[Nate Carlson <natecars@infiniteloop.com>]

Hmmm... according to the source code for the Adaptec driver in the kernel,
AIC7890 cards are supported in the aic7xxx driver.. (kernel 2.0.36)

<drivers/scsi/aic7xxx.c:579>
"Adaptec AIC-7890/1 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter",        /* AIC_7890 */

Is he using a modern distribution that includes (non-pre) 2.0.36?
