More info?)
I'm sorry but unless I download & fully research your particular board then
I'm only going to give you broad help.
JBOD is a "cool" search in google.
When you get the choice of raid to setup with your scsi drive or drives
(Yes, I know they aren't but you need to pretend or you'll get nowhere),
choose BSOD (bunch of ordinary disks)& that will get you something similar
to your old IDE arrangement.
You then need to go into boot order, select SCSI & then select which drive.
The biggest hurdle you need to overcome is to go to another comp first & get
that scsi driver onto a floppy ready for when you install your OS. Hit F6
when asked & then point to your floppy.
Somewhere along the line you get the choice to hit some keys to setup your
array. DO it & setup as JBOD.
You starting to get the picture?
Forget all previous preachings from the past.......... think diff & you'll
succeed.
