Hi,
I've got an oddball SCSI controller card that I would
like help identifying (actually, I have several *different*
ones but we'll start with this one :> )
Card is full length. PCI. Appears to be made by IBM
(FRU 76H6875). Has three AIC-7880's on it connected to
three "internal" wide SCSI-2 connectors -- and a single
external connector presumably tied to one of these three
busses. Onboard PowerPC and what appears to be a
connector for a flying CF card. A pair of 10 pin
headers one of which has a "SERIAL" legend nearby.
A third header labeled JTAG (no doubt for manufacturing
diagnostics).
External connector appears to be LVD or SE (bummer, I
was hoping to find a HVD in this box of goodies...)
I'll assume it's a RAID controller. But, question is
how well (if at all!) it is supported and whether it
is worth my time or if I should just toss it in the
box and dig out the next "mystery card"?
Thanks!

Its probably a Serveraid 5,6 or 7 series controller. Somewhere on IBM I
found a document that listed the capabilities of the controllers over the years.
