I finally got around to installing BeOS 5.0.3 on my PowerCenter 150. It took a couple attempts and some googling to realize that, officially, only the internal SCSI bus is supported.
I got BeOS installed on a PiSCSI druve, but I'd love to use an adapter card and the 10k drive in the system. The card in the machine is a "StreamLogic JackHammer" which is a QLogic ISP1040B based UW SCSI adapter. This chipset does not seem supported in BeOS. I have no problems switching SCSI cards if needed - does anyone know if it is possible to boot BeOS off a PCI SCSI card, possibly with a patch or other hack? Otherwise I'll need to add another SCSI disk to this machine, which is annoying, but not end of the world.
