Can you boot from these?  I suspect not but it's worth asking.

I want a cheap bootable Linux supported narrow [1] SCSI card[2].

[1] Well, I won't complain if it's wide as well...

[2] I got the nice 18Gb UW disk and the 2Gb narrow one is still in there
but there is little point in having it there with 18Gb above it.  It is
faster (and obviously bigger) than the 1Gb IDE in the main Linux box.

TB       Busby the cat 1984 - 22.9.1999  :(
