Have you looked at the supported HW list? Last time I checked the Compaq
SCSI was not supported. I'm not sure if it will work but you might try
putting in a supported SCSI adapter such as a Buslogic card into the
ProSignia.
But before you do that you should check with BSDI to see if they have
released a driver for the adapter. I believe the Integrated SCSI is an
NCR adapter.
