- Hi all,
-
- I just recently acquired an Adaptek 1542 SCSI controller. I installed
- in the PC and Linux now tells me:
-
- 0 hosts with 0 tapes 0 disks (or something quite close to this)
-
- Am I to assume that it effectively sees the SCSI board? My presumption
- is that since it is _now_ telling me this (wasnt before) that it does
- see it. Some clarification required here...
-
- Assuming that it does see it, what would be this device name? Would have
- to create the new device? If so, how would I go about it? I am not
- familiar enough with *ix to attempt just anything.
-
- A while ago, someone posted that he had been able to get 4 com ports
- working under linux, but that some minor surgery had to be performed
- on the board (secondary I beleive) to properly handle the IRQs. Would
- someone have done this already? If so, could he/she post how to go
- about making the necessary changes to the board in order to get
- com3: and com4: to work?
-
- BTW, I am running version 96c of Linux.
-
- Thank you... Doug!
