It is important to pick a SCSI controller carefully. Many cheap ISA
SCSI controllers are designed to drive CD-ROM's rather than anything
else. Such low end SCSI controllers are no better than IDE. See the
SCSI HOWTO and look at performance figures before buying a SCSI
card.
Adaptec AHA-274x/274xT (EISA) (AIC-7771). The 274xT is supported since kernel series 2.1.x (AHA2740)
Adaptec AHA-284x (VLB) (AIC-7770) (AHA2740)
Adaptec AHA-2910B (PCI) (since kernel series 2.1.x)
Adaptec AHA-2920 (PCI). Use the Future Domain driver. LILO parameters are needed when used for hard disks.
Adaptec AHA-2940/U/W/AU/UW/U2W (PCI) (AIC-7861, AIC-7871, AIC-7844, AIC-7881, AIC-7884). Some of these are only supported since kernel series 2.1.x (AHA2740)
Adaptec AHA-2944D/WD/UD/UWD (PCI). Some of these are only supported since kernel series 2.1.x (AHA2740)
Adaptec AHA-3940/U/W/UW (PCI) (AIC-7872, AIC-7882) (since 1.3.6). Some of these are only supported since kernel series 2.1.x
Adaptec AHA-398x/U/W/UW (PCI) (AIC-7873, AIC-7883). Some of these are only supported since kernel series 2.1.x

Adaptec on board controllers with AIC-777x (EISA), AIC-785x, AIC-786x, AIC-787x (PCI), AIC-788x (PCI), AIC-7895. AIC-786x and AIC-7895 are supported since kernel series 2.1.x
