Hi,
Have one of these myself.
Am using SuSE linux, and am using the aha152x kernel module.
Installed the card and have the following line in my lilo.conf
append="aha152x=0x140,9,7,1,1"
which works great.. Experiment with the 9 as this is the IRQ. I think the
default is 10, but check and see. The 0x140 is the IO address, the only
other option is 0x340. The 7 is the host ID number, and is usually ok to
leave at 7. The 1,1 are usual also.
To give it a go make sure you've compiled the scsi kernel module, and the
aha152x module.
Check /lib/module/<ver>/scsi
where <ver> is your kernel version.
make sure you have a file aha152x.o
the use modprobe to load the module, i.e. modprobe aha152x
aha152x=0x140,9,7,1,1
the proof of the pudding is in loading the zip drive...
Make a dir to mount the drive to and then mount a zip disk as, mount -t vfat
/dev/sda4 /zip, where /dev/sda4 is when you have the SCSI ID to 5 on the zip
drive and /dev/sda5 is when you have it set to 6.
Hope that helps
