Dear list members, I was looking at the documentation my adaptec PCI SCSI and notice a couple of configuration parameters that could be changed when running under Linux (rather than DOS or Windows). These are:
Plug and Play SCAM support -------------------------- The default setting is disabled. They mention in the manual that if enabled than SCSI ID are automatically assigned to those SCSI devices that support SCAM. Those that don't usually are not affected (except some older SCSI 1 devices which could hang). Would it be better under Linux to enable this setting??? Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte -------------------------------------------------- The default setting is enabled. The manual under Unixware says that Unix supports > 1GByte so the BIOS extentions should be disabled. For SCO UNIX it says it ignores this setting so enable or disable work. Obciously this is a DOS cludge... ;) and I assume Linux will not require it. Would it be better under Linux to disable this setting??? Support for Ultra SCSI Speed ---------------------------- The default setting is disabled. The manual says this option determines whether the host adapter supports the fast transfer rates (13.4,16,20.0) of Ultra SCSI devices. Should I enable this for Linux? Would the driver support it? If you have experience with Adaptec's settings for the Ultra Wide SCSI Host Adapter I would like to know how I can fine tune it for Linux. Are there any documentation I can read regarding fine tuning this particular hardware for Linux? How about the latest drivers? Thank you.
