RE: How to access SCSI on Compaq Prosignia

["Anderson, David" <david anderson nomura co uk>]

I tried to do this years ago on the same machine, but gave up. At the time,
the ncr53cXXXX or whatever the driver is called, didn't fully support the
53c710. I would look in this driver (maybe source code!!) to see whether
someone ever finished it.

If not, you might need to do what I did - buy a cheap adaptec EISA SCSI
card, although I'm not sure how cheap they'd be now (maybe in a hardware
second hand shop)

cheers,
Dave
