“Adaptec, Inc. today announced that its Ultra160 SCSI technology
is the first in the industry to be ported to the Linux IA-64 kernel
— the basis for the 64-bit version of the increasingly popular
Linux open source operating system. By working closely with
leading Linux provider Red Hat, Inc., Adaptec brings a key
technology to the Linux user community.”

“This initiative to bring Ultra160 SCSI to the world of IA-64
Linux aligns with Adaptec’s position as the leading storage I/O
enabler for platforms based on Intel’s IA-64 microprocessor
architecture.”
