I have a question regarding the latest Adaptec drivers for Linux 2.0
(specifically Redhat 5.2). This is with regards to a mahcine which is
going to be a heavily loaded mail/web server. Disks are on a DPT RAID
board, but the CD-ROM and DLT need to be on another controlle. The
motherboard (Asus P2B-DS) has an Adaptec Ultra2 SCSI chip on board (7890
with a 3630, IIRC).

The machine is being custom built. I need to tell them whether or not to
use the onboard SCSI. Should I expect problems with a DLT and CD-ROM on
the onboard Adaptec, or should it work fine?

The shop building the machine has some contacts within Asus, so if there
are any Asus specific issues especially, Please let me know.
