- I'm not taking a chance here. My current Always Technology IN-2000 SCSI
- controller doesn't work with Linux, so I am getting an UltraStor 14F which
- is specifically mentioned as being supported. The new controller is also
- SCSI-2 and Fast SCSI, which my IN-2000 isn't.
-
- I think I have just found a use for my 286/20 system board - build it up
- into a second system and network it to my main box (a 386/40) so I can play
- with TCP/IP and other networking features of Linux. After I get the new
- SCSI controller and video adapter (next month hopfully), I'll only need
- another case, keyboard, monitor, and hard drive for the second system. Of
- course, I'll also need two network adapters to do this. I've been wanting
- to tinker with a LAN of my own for quite awhile and this should work out
- pretty well with Linux.
-
- I need a bigger hard drive to replace my 200 Meg SCSI drive anyway so I
- can make my 340 Meg drive the primary boot disk because I don't have enough
- space for all the bootable OS partitions I need/want here at present.
