I have a couple of SCSI controllers (parallel SCSI, I mean, not SAS), both being of the LSI 53c1020/53c1030 variants. After Debian Trixie gave me a hard time using 32-bit PCI hardware because of DMAR issues, I've decided to try Rocky Linux 9 on that old host (i7-3770, 16 text/html 2026-07-03T06:24:53+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://wiki.tadeu.org/retrocomp:machines?rev=1783059893&do=diff Some stuff I got AcerAcros 486 Motherboard Acer A1G 2.x (Closest match, not sure); CPU Intel 486DX2-66; RAM 16 MB FPM; Installed cards * Encore NE2000-compatible (RTL8029AS); * MediaVision Jazz 16; * U.S. Robotics 33.6K; * Adaptec AHA-1542CF; IBM eServer xSeries 220 (Type 8645) text/html 2021-07-29T04:11:41+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://wiki.tadeu.org/retrocomp:us-robotics-on-linux?rev=1627531901&do=diff U.S. Robotics ISA hardmodem on Linux I don't think lots of people do still use dial-up modems, but I do have one, so I might as well get it working under my old Debian Woody running at my even older AcerAcros 486.
