My advice to you would be to disable it in the bios and if you want to go SCSI get a better adapter and make great use of one of those ISA slots ya have, your second choice would be to use the onboard IDE controller, that is what I have chosen to do and have gotten great results. If you take that option you will have to change the state of SW1 of the DIP on the expansion card, and also make sure the switches on the back of the SmartStation are set to "D" and "B". If you are going to put this on the network, you are going to want to stay away from the onboard controller as well, this is a NEC want to be and has proven to be very temperamental and unreliable at best (this was also confirmed by direct mail to some other SmartStation users). I stuck in a 3c509 and have had great results from that as well.

Either way, its the aha152x driver under Linux. -Andy -- Andy Walker Kvaerner Engineering a.s. Andrew.Walker@lysaker.kvaerner.no P.O.
