This site no longer carries the patches and such. You should FTP to:
ftp.pcnet.com:/users/eischen/Linux
There's a patch file for 1.3.28 which I have tested with 1.3.32 (updates
the driver from v2.0 to 2.5) and has worked well for the last couple of
days. It was the only version that allowed me to have 3 SCSI devices on
the BUS at the same time (2 wide, 1 narrow on a 2940W). I also had
success with a 2940U and a Quantum Fireball. If you have this card and a
SCSI device that supports "ultra SCSI" then YMMV. Get
"Patch-1.3.28-AIC7xxx.gz"
There's also a file called "boot.flp.gz" which is a slackware boot disk
that will boot the system. You need a slackware root disk as well with
the ext2fs0.5b utilities on it.

BOFH, System Admin, Nothing indicates shoddy workmanship
ultratech.net more than lumps in the duct tape.
