Nope, Stefan Esser wrote all of the NCR drivers, and if I may say so myself, I've only one *ONE* problem (and it turned out to be in another part of the system that triggered the 'error') in the 2.5 years I've owned them, while the Adaptec people have weekly problems. The advantage of having access to the programming documentation has been obvious to me. (This is not to say that the Adaptec stuff isn't good, but for me the NCR has provided me *much* better bang for the buck with almost *zero* problems.)
