Hello all,

I've got FC1 installed on a server with only SCSI disks, using an AIC 7899 
controller.

It looks like FC1 had a driver (AIC7xxx?) which was used by the installer.

FC2 doesn't have this driver.  When installing (booting from FC2 CD 1), the 
installer cannot find my hard disks, when attempting to add an additional 
device driver, I find the only AIC driver available is AIC 79xx (which 
doesn't work).

Does anyone know how to do this?

Does anyone know how to create a driver disk on floppy for the AIC 7899/FC2?

Thanks,
d
