I am using a NCR SCSI controller that is builtin to my Digital DECpc 590. I use the ncr53c7xx driver in the linux kernel. I am not totally sure what you are asking, but my BIOS is not like a normal SCSI bios (Such as Adaptec's CTRL-A or BusLogic/Mylex's CTRL-B to enter the SCSI utils). It simply prompts me as to which to boot between SCSI or IDE. There are other more basic options in the system BIOS about SCSI that I cannot recall what they are. What is it that you are trying to do? Boot off of SCSI? Do you have a mixed IDE/SCSI system. Typically that would be the only reason why your system would require you to have some mention in the BIOS. If you are totally SCSI and your SCSI card has a BIOS to boot from, then simply disable your onboard IDE in the system BIOS. I have not had a problem with my NCR controller. --Jay Barbee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
