Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Tekram SCSI card

Hi Steven,

I have found a Sym 20810 card on ebay which I hope will solve the problem.
In the meantime it would be great if I could find a driver for the Tekram
card. Unfortunately, PCI doesn't want to work. When I type "pci" from the
command line, the screen goes blank, and then just sits there -- no hard
drive activity -- not anything. It was working before, so I don't know
which of my current changes is causing the problem. (I added the Tekram
PCI card, and I also added a SATA hard drive). Please let me know if you
have any suggestions.

The two TRM3X5.ADD drivers I have are:

32293 and 323 in size.

Sandy
