Hi,
for a specific application we need a low-profile SCSI card (PCI) with external 50pin connector. I thought about getting an "Adaptec SCSI Card 2930LP". However I was not able to find any usable information about wether this card is supported by Linux/CentOS 5.x or not. Does anyone have this card working with a CentOS 5.x machine?
ALL Adaptec SCSI Cards (except for a few bleeding edge 64-bit PCI cards) are supported, out-of-the-box using stock kernels on all versions of CentOS (3.x, 4.x, and 5.x):
Except that nowadays, some cheap desktop-motherboards may not know how to enable booting from such a card. It's years since I used SCSI-drives for desktop-use - and then it was a workstation-class Dual-Xeon board, Socket 604. So I can't say if this is still true today - but I've read that people have problems like that.
I *suspect*, given the OP's specific request for a 50-pin external connection that this is for something like a scanner or tape drive, not an internal boot disk.
