Boot Camp 2.0: Cannot install Windows Vista with LSI Logic 4GB HBA Fibre Channel card
If you are trying to install Microsoft Windows Vista via Boot Camp 2.0 and you have an LSI Logic 4GB Host Bus Adaptor Fibre Channel card installed in your Mac, you may not be able to complete the installation.
We will be buying new Xeon E5-based servers for our datacenter and were wondering which Fibre Channel host bus adapters we should select for these. The choices are Emulex or QLogic (8Gb FC HBAs). Anybody have any recommendations on which is the better choice?
Thanks in advance. (1 Reply)
Hi folks,
I had problems trying to install SCO OpenServer 6 on a PC with no floppy drive and a SATA CD drive.
Eventually after advice received on this forum last week, I adopted a different approach by fitting the LSI HBA RAID adapter and associated disks into an older PC that does have CD and... (4 Replies)

usoc - universal serial optical controller for Fibre Channel arbitrated loop (SOC+) device driver
DESCRIPTION
The Fibre Channel adapter is an SBus card that implements two full duplex Fibre Channel interfaces. Each interface can connect to a Fibre
Channel arbitrated loop (FC-AL). The usoc device driver is a nexus driver and implements portions of the FC-2 and FC-4 layers of FC-AL.
