[HECnet] My newest toy -SCSISE adapter

[H Vlems]

Umm, I wasn't very clear there, was I ? :)
Actually I was wondering how Oleg had figured that out.
That you'd be able to find the information from the VMS source listings is
no real surprise. Even though it implies that formally unsupported hardware
is documented in the sources.
But hypothetically, you have an Adaptec AHA2944UW controller how would an
ordinary VMS user figure that out? The hex id is vendor and model related.
But how to figure out what PK driver is required? Or is the PKA driver a
kind of catch all driver?

OK, that I understand. 
How do you know what PKx$DRIVER to select?

Me???   Because PKADRIVER.LIS says:

* ABSTRACT:
* 
*           PKADRIVER is a SCSI port driver for adapters based on the Adaptec 
*           AIC-78xx chipset.
