Wow ! Thanks for the speedy response !
I don't have a SCSI Card just yet, planning on getting an Advansys card
tonight after work, as Advansys support Linux and all their cards
apparently work in Linux.
Once the card is in the machine, what will I need to be able to access
the devices. Do I need something like mknod. If so, do you know what the
major and minor numbers are ?
