    Oops, it wasn't V300. That would have been too easy. Model number is
    MRS-600V3.

    Parallel port web page says model V600 is supported by Microtek driver.
    I wonder if these two are the same.

    In fact I didn't get this far because I had some module installation
    problems. I have to try again and harder.

    I wonder if there are any special tricks needed because I have support
    for AHA-1520 and IDE/SCSI emulation compiled as modules.

    I do need "SCSI generic" support, do I? And since other SCSI stuff is
    compiled as modules, this one must also be module. How about parallel
    port stuff, which modules I must have (in addition to OnSpec)?
