Regarding my question, i have a definitive answer on the identity of the IBM CreditCard SCSI-2 adaptor card - stuart biggar was correct, it's a Future Domain 16-700. (This may be unfortunate, since that card is not on the list of supported cards, and david hinds - who produced the linux PCMCIA package - says the FD1680 is not currently supported...) I'm very pleased, nonetheless, to get an unequivocal answer from ibm on the identity of the card. I contacted askibm@info.ibm.com, and was referred to their "Info Support" center (1-800-772-2227). A responsive person there sent me to an Options support person. The options person dug up the OEM info (and happens to run linux on his home machine, so he definitely knew what i was talking about), and was quite helpful and informed. Now i have to determine whether it's likely that a driver for the FD16-700 will be produced any time soon, or to send back the IBM card and get one of the supported ones. However, i'm in a much better position to decide! (My apologies to the people on the list with little or no interest in the trials and tribulations of linux on the thinkpads - the identity of the card's OEM probably won't be of much use to you, since you could just use the standard drivers that come with the card. Still, i figure this info will be helpful to more than just the linux minority...) ken manheimer klm@cnri.reston.va.us (703) 620-8990 x259 Corporation for National Research Initiatives 1895 Preston White Drive, Suite 100 Reston, VA 22091
