I haven't used one myself, but the chip should definitely work. But I'd consider buying a 53c875 based card with 8bit SCSI bus, instead, since they seem to be offered for about the same price, today. (E.g. the Tekram DC390U or the Symbios Sym8750 fall into this class.) The 53c875 cards support Ultra SCSI and have a number of features not found in first generation NCR chips (well, the 815 is kind of second generation, already, but the 875 is much better :) Regards, STefan
