I know that I could either buy an IntraServer SCSI adapter or
a Compaq KZPCA and they both would probably work immediatly
with the itpsa driver.
But when browsing in the 4.0f patch kit 6 documentation I found
the following in the OSF440-568 patch description :
"Additionally the ITPSA driver now supports the KZPCM, 8951U,
and 8952U adapters."
Since 8952U is the part number for the generic LSILogic part,
I tried to do it on the cheap (the 8952U is only 130$ for the
bare card). Since it didn't work for me I am wondering if I did
something wrong or if the above statement ( or my interpretation
of it ) is not correct.
