Hello

I am trying to installl RH9 on a system with an adaptec AIC 7880 SCSI
controller card.

When I boot from the install floppy it won't recognise the CDROM
connected to the SCSI controller, instead it asks me for a driver disk
for the card. I googled and can't find a download for it.

Any ideas?

cheers

You need the drivers disk image too on a second floppy. Choose the Adaptec
driver modules then (aic7xxx).

That drivers disk contains the SCSI driver modules.
