Afternoon,

Has anyone had any experience in running a PCMCIA to SCSI addaptor
connected to eiter a SCSI CD-ROM or hard drive under Linux.

A little bit of investigation indicates that some addaptors work, others
don't.

Does the drive appear to the computer as a standard sd(?) SCSI mount or
is it a little more weird than that.

I'm essentially looking for a way to upgrade Linux installations and add
new packages to an AST laptop, and the SCSI PCMCIA card looks like it
might be the most versatile way to go

Thanks,

Karl
