Product
Adaptec APA-1460 SlimSCSI card. It's a 16-bit card, not a 32-bit cardbus card.
Driver
In 2.2.14, the driver was called aha152x_cs.o
Specification
Allows access to 50-pin external single-ended Narrow Channel SCSI devices such as SCSI scanners and SCSI DAT tape drives.
Rather too slow for use with hard drives.
Installation
cardctl status 0
will show something like:
5V 16-bit PC Card
function 0: [ready]
cardctl config 0
will show something like:
Vcc 5.0V Vpp1 0.0V Vpp2 0.0V
interface type is "memory and I/O"
irq 3 [exclusive] [level]
function 0:
config base 0x2000
option 0x48
io 0x0140-0x015f [auto]
cardctl ident 0
which will show something like:
product info: "Adaptec, Inc.", "APA-1460 SCSI Host Adapter", "Version 0.01"
manfid: 0x012f, 0x0001
Distro here
SuSE 9.0 and Knoppix V3.6
Current support
Relatively good support in most linux distros except the "enterprise" distros.
Own experience
Mostly use if for SCSI scanner nowadays.
