Hi,
Does anyone know if the eisa based compaq (181132-001) Smart Array scsi
Controller 2CH would work in an sgi system? I have an indigo 2 at the
moment and am looking to get a better scsi card into it. I know the eisa
bus is not fully supported/tested on the indigo2's, but i would be happy
to see how far I can get it to work :).
A different compaq eisa scsi controller would be interesting too. There seems
to be quite a few of those floating around on e-bay.
Cheers,
Damian

The EISA support for the Indigo 2 has never been more than rudimentary.
I think right now only PIO cards will work which will exclude about any
decent piece of hardware.
Yes, the driver for the onboard WD33C93 controller is _bad_ and extremly
slow.
