We're getting ready to purchase a new piece of hardware as a linux based 
office server.  I've had problems with other SCSI controllers in the past 
and put a 1542 in a previous system.  The dual Pentium II from Dell that 
we're looking at comes with a 2940UW.  After reading the hardware help 
from linux.org (http://www.ccil.org/~esr/clone-hw-guide/diskwars.html) and 
(http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO-7.html#ss7.1), it does 
list the 2940, but the 2940UW designation concerns me.  Any
help/suggestions are 
appreciated much! 
 
Thanks, 
Bob
