Subject:	SCOUG-Help: SCSI question

Content Type: text/plain

The LSI20810 is a SINGLE channel "Fast" narrow (7 devices, 8-bit bus)
SCSI adapter with 50-pin internal and external connectors. It is ancient
by today's standards (actually yesterday's, as most SCSI standards are).
More info at:

The Tekram adapter is in the same category. I May have a driver for that
device somewhere (*IF* I can find it). I also have one of the cards
that I got with a scanner years ago.

If you need the driver, let me know, and I will search for it.
