2.1.1. Disk Controllers

• WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)
• WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)
• IDE
• ATA
• Adaptec 1505 ISA SCSI controller
• Adaptec 152x series ISA SCSI controllers
• Adaptec 1535 ISA SCSI controllers
• Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controllers
• Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode.
• Adaptec 274x/284x/2940/2940U/3940 (Narrow/Wide/Twin) series EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI controllers
• Adaptec AIC7850 on-board SCSI controllers
• Adaptec AIC-6360 based boards, which includes the AHA-152x and SoundBlaster SCSI cards. Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards as they have no on-board BIOS, which is necessary for mapping the boot device into the system BIOS I/O vectors. They are perfectly usable for external tapes, CDROMs, etc, however. The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card without a boot ROM. Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which is generally indicated by some sort of message when the system is first powered up or reset. Check your system/board documentation for more details.
• Buslogic 545S & 545c Note: that Buslogic was formerly known as "Bustek".
• Buslogic 445S/445c VLB SCSI controller
• Buslogic 742A/747S/747c EISA SCSI controller.
• Buslogic 946c PCI SCSI controller
• Buslogic 956c PCI SCSI controller
• NCR 53C810/53C815/53C825/53C860/53C875 PCI SCSI controller.
• NCR5380/NCR53400 (``ProAudio Spectrum'') SCSI controller.
• DTC 3290 EISA SCSI controller in 1542 emulation mode.
• UltraStor 14F/24F/34F SCSI controllers.
• Seagate ST01/02 SCSI controllers.
• Future Domain 8xx/950 series SCSI controllers.
• WD7000 SCSI controllers.

With all supported SCSI controllers, full support is provided for SCSI-I & SCSI-II peripherals, including Disks, tape drives (including DAT) and CD ROM drives.

The following CD-ROM type systems are supported at this time:

• SoundBlaster SCSI and ProAudio Spectrum SCSI (cd)
• Mitsumi (all models) proprietary interface (mcd)
• Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative) CR-562/CR-563 proprietary interface (matcd)
• Sony proprietary interface (scd)
• ATAPI IDE interface (experimental and should be considered ALPHA quality!) (wcd)
