My SCSI cards are Advansys and Diamond (both UW), so I can't speak
from personal experience for Adaptec kit. There is quite an extensive
Hardware Compatibility List on the Win2K Pro CD in \support\hcl.txt -
by 'extensive' I mean at least relative to that which came with NT4
;-) I've had a quick look and all your cards, bar the Teles, seem to
be included.

The previously mentioned messageboard at www.bp6.com has various lists
of combinations of cards that work (or don't) in certain slots. I have
4 PCI cards and a Matrox G400 AGP but no ISA cards. I guess it's a
case of trial and error....

I must confess to having had a pain free installation of Win2K. I did
a completely 'virgin' install and can't comment on NT compatibility
issues.

No, but it may answer a few others - e.g. I've just opened it and
found more stuff on that ACPI thing again (page 3-22) ;-)
