- Not only that, but you will need a very good ASPI driver. I tried
- this a long time ago with my T130b, and I had no success either.
- Trantor's drivers were never very good. I have tried executor with
- several scsi cards, and only recently have I had any success, with a
- Future domain pci 3260.
-
- Good luck with the linux version, though, because the T130 worked
- fine with linux (although I don't have it any more, so it would
- be difficult for me to help in this area)
