The Adaptec 1540 and 1542 controllers are supported by SCO.  I
have been using them for two years with no problems.

I have also used a DTC controller, but this requires not only
that you have the GT version of Xenix, but that you either have a
non-scsi hard disk on the system, or another system with Xenix
running that you can use to make a new N1 disk with the DTC
drivers, neither is a particularly useful option for the average
user :-(

On another note, I have heard that Adaptec has a new set of
drivers for Xenix that are much faster and support additional
devices.  Can anyone in SCO Support say when these will be
released?
