Alan,

I have an IBM Intellistation that is SMP and the onboard Adapetec SCSI 
works just fine.  I have not tried ACPI so I don't know what happens if 
that is thrown into the mix.

eCS SMP doesn't work with SCSI??

I've just read the ACPI-SMP.doc file that is part of the ACPI package on 
the BetaZone.

One of the first instructions is to remove old SCSI cards. Does this 
mean that SMP/ACPI does not work with SCSI adapters, or does it merely 
mean that any cards not needed (which may include SCSI cards) should be 
removed?

I would like to build an SMP machine, but I also want to continue using 
my industrial-strength SCSI drives rather than switching to IDE.

Did it actually say "old" SCSI cards?
Not New(er) SCSI cards??
I wonder if they mean ISA cards.
