Hello everyone
I just got a "new" computer with an Adaptec 2940 card as the scsi1
device. I'd like to install Plan 9 on this beast, but I haven't really
found any indication that there is support for that SCSI card. Can
anybody help me out here?
Thanks
John

Bad news I'am afriad, they are not supported, if you search the 9fans archive
(via google) you will see they where discussed several times; As i rembember it
all who went there came back screaming.
I still use symbolics/ncr/lsi/tekram cards which work well, though that is
mainly because I have a stock of fast SCSI disks. If I where building a
new plan9 machine I would use IDE these days.
If a new disk is out of the question you could always use qemu on top
of another OS.
