It is important to pick a SCSI controller carefully. Many cheap ISA
SCSI controllers are designed to drive CD-ROM's rather than anything
else. Such low end SCSI controllers are no better than IDE. See the
SCSI HOWTO and look at performance figures before buying a SCSI
card.
Adaptec AVA-1825 (VLB) (Adaptec AHA-152x compatible)
This card has a SCSI, EIDE and floppy port which all work nicely.
Adaptec AHA-1510/152x (ISA/VLB) (AIC-6260/6360)
Adaptec AHA-154x (ISA) (all models)
Adaptec AHA-174x (EISA) (in enhanced mode)
Adaptec AHA-274x/274xT (EISA) (AIC-7771). The 274xT is supported since kernel series 2.1.x (AHA2740)
Adaptec AHA-284x (VLB) (AIC-7770) (AHA2740)
Adaptec AHA-2910B (PCI) (since kernel series 2.1.x)
Adaptec AHA-2920 (PCI). Use the Future Domain driver. LILO parameters are needed when used for hard disks.
Adaptec AHA-2920C (PCI)
Adaptec AHA-2930/U/U2 (PCI)
Adaptec AHA-2940/U/W/AU/UW/U2W/U2/U2B/U2BOEM (PCI) (AIC-7861, AIC-7871, AIC-7844, AIC-7881, AIC-7884). Some of these are only supported since kernel series 2.1.x (AHA2740)
Adaptec AHA-2944D/WD/UD/UWD (PCI). Some of these are only supported since kernel series 2.1.x (AHA2740)
Adaptec AHA-2950U2/U2B/U2W
Adaptec AHA-3940/U/W/UW/AUW/U2W (PCI) (AIC-7872, AIC-7882) (since 1.3.6). Some of these are only supported since kernel series 2.1.x
Adaptec AHA-3950U2B/U2D
Adaptec AHA-3985U/W/UW (PCI) (AIC-7873, AIC-7883). Some of these are only supported since kernel series 2.1.x
Adaptec PCI controllers with AIC-7850, AIC-7855, AIC-7860
Adaptec on board controllers with AIC-777x (EISA), AIC-785x, AIC-786x, AIC-787x (PCI), AIC-788x (PCI), AIC-789x, AIC-3860. AIC-786x and AIC-789x are supported since kernel series 2.1.x
