[SunRescue] SCSI in an ultra 5

[Daniel Debow Southwick]

Alrighty then sorry to waste the bandwidth on this. As I stated the
symbios card is for around 50 dollars. bill mentioned a compatiblity issue
with those. here is the specs on the one I'm going to buy:

SYM 8251S Ultra Wide SCSI
20Mbps, 32bit PCI,
Original Symbios, Sun, Linux, NT, win98, Dos
Symbios 53C825 Chipset
BusMaster 
50 & 68 pin Wide 
Work with all OS "Linux included"

Is this the one to avoid?
