  Hi.

  I got a lot of feedback with problems with the Adaptec 2904 card on linux.
  May be you have the chance to get it work with some options for the scsi-driver
  ... I don`t know.

  Do you have the chance to try an other scsi controller?

  I like the ncr53c8xx (ncr = symbios logic = lsi logic) controllers.
  Especially the ncr53c810 controllers have been very interesting for
  scanning (fast scsi => long cables) and have been not too expensive,
  but as far as I know they are not produced any more.

  If possible try the card before you buy one or make sure you can give
  it back when it does not work.

  Bye
  Oliver
