Ok, heres what I found that shows this card should work:

This person and about three others where using the VLB version of the card.
So it seems that it can work. Anyone actually using the PCI version???

I have absolutely no idea if this scsi controller is supported or not(thats
kinda the reason I posted :). I guess I didn't make that too clear. How up
to date is this SCSI-HOWTO? I assume you are either a Linux or (free/net)BSD
person. Anyone know if it is currently supported in OS/2?
I was hoping adaptic was such a big name in controllers that it would have
pretty good support. Anyone have a Zeos and know what supports it so far?
Unfortunately, I have to purchase all the components from one company, and
so far Zeos has gotten good reviews.
always looking for new info,
Jeff Evans
