My understanding is that you need kernel support compiled in for the SCSI
adapter, so you can't just install on a hard drive connected to the internal
and then change the connection to the adapter.
I also understand that OrangeMicro uses Advansys chips on their cards.
Looking at http://advansys.com/support/software/os/linux.htm, PPC support is
"on the way".
Sorry! I'm frustrated too!
