Hang on a sec... what Grant's saying is that *card-mode* dino is never used for SCSI controllers, but on the B160L it would probably be *chip-mode* dino. Does this mean that all GSC SCSI expansion cards are Zalon based? So what Helge has isn't a PCI card specifically, Dino and the 53c8xx are all on the motherboard. Does Dino handle IO memory mapping differently for chip or card mode? - Alex -- Alex deVries, Principal Solutions Architect, The Puffins at Linuxcare 613.562.2759 tel alex@linuxcare.com, http://www.linuxcare.com/ Linuxcare, Support for the revolution.
