Vince,

This is good to know.  On which model Mac were you successful?

Thanks,

so I installed Ubuntu to an IDE drive without the SCSI card installed
...I then installed the SCSI card and Ubuntu recognized it

ROMeyn,

I just (re) installed Ubuntu Warty this morning, took only 20 
minutes. I have a SCSI controller and there was no problem, the 
driver was installed in a matter of seconds at the start of the 
install process, everything went very quickly and smoothy, just sweet 
as chocolate really.
So no need to wait for Hoary, Ubuntu is already plenty capable enough 
to deal with SCSI controllers.

Obviously, like with any peripheral, it's best to stick with very 
popular/well supported hardware. Maybe this is you problem, maybe you 
have some weird/generic/not so common brand or model ?

I played it safe and took an Adaptec 2940 for the controller, and an 
AGFA SnapScan 1236s for the SCCI scanner.
After adding the 'sg' module to /etc/modules, everything was working perfectly.

Regards,

Vince

PS: you got me curious, so when Hoary is  finally realeased, I may 
try and get an old/dirty cheap SCSI hard drive from Ebay to try and 
do what you wanted to do.
