Excuse my Intel hardware idiocy, but, umm, how do you mean "if<br>
the card is actually a PCI device"? There are two kinds of<br>
slots on my motherboard, PCI and ISA, and they don't look<br>
the same :-) This card definitely fits in a PCI slot.<br>
<p>
Also the literature says the card is a PCI scsi adapter. <br>
Is it possible for it "secretly" to be ISA? What would that<br>
mean? Boy, am I confused!<br>
<p>
and what is /proc/pci supposed to do for me? Doesn't look<br>
too useful :-)<br>
<p>
[root@musashi scsi]# file /proc/pci<br>
/proc/pci: empty<br>
<p>
How I long for the day when we will just be able to plug<br>
peripherals into our linux crates and use them... like the<br>
PCMCIA driver facility for laptops, now that is nice to use... <br>
no configuration, no mystery, no hassles, you plug in the little<br>
cards and they work ...<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Yes, attaching new devices to an existing card is a simpler course of</i><br>
<i>&gt; action, but it means incurring an additional cost (cable price) </i><br>
<p>
It would be nice if I could get the card working because it<br>
will take a couple of days to get a cable and I am eager to<br>
try out SANE...<br>
