insmod scsi_mod, sr_mod, sg and then
insmod aha152x io=0x340   invalid parameter io
insmod aha152x          Device or resource busy
cat /proc/scsi/scsi  Attached devices:  none

(I think in the case of my other ISA scsi card for the HP it tells me it 
found the card, tho the scanner is not found by scanimage.)

The card is acting like it is not there.  Should I recycle it?
I have tried similarly with zipslack.s instead of the scsi modules.
And with the proper DOS module in config.sys (won't install).

I checked and IRQ 11 and IO 340 are free on that computer.

-c (like format) is BEFORE you put the filesystem on, and badblocks (like 
scandisk) is AFTER you have files on there?

Does the former block out the bad sectors and the latter just inform you 
that they exist?
