2.1 works well on ProSignia 300 (needs a patch on 2.0). We use it as our
web/ftp server.

The on-board SCSI uses the NCR driver. Be sure to install the BIOS boot
blocks, the others won't work.

Forget about the on-board Ethernet though.

Lastly, run xtnpd (our ProSignia loses about 10 seconds a day)
