Thanks for your reply.
Apparently there are no SCSI modules available :-(
Building modules is something I've never done before so if possible I'd
rather not do that.
May I ask you one more question, if I upgrade to FC4 will that
automatically install the right SCSI modules? If it does, than I think
thats the easiest way to go (for me that is)
TIA for your help
