- IDE
- ATA
- Adaptec 152x series ISA SCSI controllers
- Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controllers
- Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in
standard and enhanced mode.
- Adaptec 274x/284x/2940/3940
(Narrow/Wide/Twin)
series EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI controllers
- Adaptec AIC7850 on-board SCSI controllers
- Adaptec
AIC-6360 based boards,
which includes the AHA-152x and SoundBlaster SCSI
cards.
Note: You cannot boot from the
SoundBlaster cards as they have no on-board BIOS,
which is necessary for mapping the boot device into
the system BIOS I/O vectors. They are perfectly
usable for external tapes, CDROMs, etc, however.
The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
without a boot ROM. Some systems DO have a boot
ROM, which is generally indicated by some sort of
message when the system is first powered up or
reset. Check your system/board documentation for
more details.
