[ale] Fedora scsi module

Recently I installed Fedora Core 3. Seems to work reasonably well.
The problem I have is with my Advansys scsi card. None of the loadable
modules in Fedora activates the card, such as aic7xxx or aha152x.

A scanner, burner and some scsi drives hang off the card.

The card is an older model, which could be the problem.

Redhat 7.1 did have an "advansys" module, which worked fine. That module
is not accepted by fedora, because it has an ".o" extension, whereas all
fedora modules have a ".ko" extension (not human-readable, the ".o" 
version is)

Anybody know of a way around this problem other than buying an up-to-date
card? Is there a repository somewhere for supposedly obsolete modules?

Any help is appreciated. TIA, Cor van Dijk
