Customers with hard drives connected to Adaptec SCSI cards systems will have to use the following work around. The BeOS will work with SCSI devices which are connected to the SCSI cable from the main logic board (rather than the cable which connects to the Adaptec card). You need not remove the Adaptec card as the BeOS will only recognize SCSI devices connected to the logic board SCSI bus, and will ignore all devices connected to the Adaptec card.

We are still evaluating support for Adaptec cards in future releases of the BeOS. While we would like to do it, limited engineering and testing resources make it impossible to promise at this time.
