[NTLUG:Discuss] Umax scanner

[clyde swann]

Just check the RH 6.2 hardware list for compatible scsi cards.  I would 
limit my search to Adaptec cards because they are the industry standard and 
tend to setup right out of the box.  Identify several models then determine 
if they have the connector you need and is in your price range.  You can go 
to the adaptec website to check card specs.  I don't know about umax, but 
with hp you don't want a card faster than an ultra scsi for stability.  Its 
really as easy as matching a RH compatible card with your connection type.  
Again I suggest staying with adaptec, not so much from a redhat point of 
view, but from a system board point of view.  Haven't found a system board 
yet that won't accept an adaptec card.  Many other cards are supported by 
redhat, but your system board may not like them right out of the box or at 
all.
