[9fans] SCSI Support

[Christopher Browne]

I was planning to try out an install on an Intellistation that I've
had in mothballs; it's most disappointing that there does not appear to
be support for the Adaptec AHA-2940 host adaptor that I've got on it.
Is there any expectation of further SCSI support forthcoming?

[The IDE CD-ROM was detected nicely; 'tis otherwise encouraging...
 I did some exploring of what comes on the boot disk and what I see
 initially is at least moderately nifty...]

There are no plans here to do any Adaptec PCI controllers. There may be plans
elsewhere.

I soured on Adaptec a long time ago when they wouldn't give me the programming
information for their PCI controllers and since there are perfectly good and
cheaper alternatives I don't feel the need. Some motherboards come with Adaptec controllers on-board but I don't buy those.
