scsi which

[roland]

I need to install a server with SATA controller.
The tape drive I have to install needs a scsi controller (VXA-drive)
I used to install a Adaptec 1502 but I assume they are hard to get now.
Which one is easy to install and cheap enough, because it is only for a
backupdevice, this tape-drive. 

They told me that most of the adaptec controllers are RH compatible, but
when I look at modprobe or /proc/scsi/device-info, I don't find much.

Just to be clear, what are you looking for in /proc/scsi/device-info?
If there is no SCSI controller installed, what are you expecting to
find there?

I must admit that I am a newbee on the subject of Manual installation of
devices.
So I consulted google and there somebody told me to watch this file to view all the
supported devices. I thought lsmod did this.

a 1502 is a relatively ancient isa narrow scsi controller, which is not
the sort of thing you'd want to attach a modern tape drive to.

The adaptec 29160 or similar (ie 29160lp or 29160n) is probably a good
choice to attach a tape drive too.
