size=3>I have been running Red Hat 2.0.35 with an Adaptec 1542-CP SCSI
controller card in a linux box and have had reason to use the card in another
computer. I have replaced it with a TekRam 800B SCSI controller which TekRam
tells me is meant to be Adaptec 1542 compatible, and I figured that because of
this, I could just place it into the computer and away it would
go.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

the Base I/O, IRQ and DMA settings are identical on each
card.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

computer having a SCSI controller card. When I choose "Adaptec 1542",
the computer says "Scanning SCSI bus" and appears to hang. I repeated
the process and gave some values, instead of letting Red Hat use it's AutoProbe
feature. Still I have no joy.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
