I've been using various flavors of adaptec SCSI cards for years now
and never a problem -

Used under all M$oft products, Linux, Solaris. BSD, etc etc etc...

15xx, 17xx, 2940, UW, 7880, etc etc etc...

Never has one single SCSI failure that wasn't related to a bad disk.

Never had one "Not recognized" problem.

Of course, I haven't tried a 7880 on Linux yet...
