Could someone have toasted the SCSI controller before
you got it?
Have you examined Compaqs *very nice* web site for
clues? Usenet groups related to COmpaq x86 hardware
might also be useful...
BTW, the Proliant makes a very nice Linux box ("Big"
Mike & I each have one, dual 200 MHz PPro's make for a
nice workstations/small server), curious about Solaris
x86, but I never really did too much with it...
HTH,
