AFAIK, all the NCR/Symbios based cards are software compatible. I have a DC-310 which I've not yet had the excuse to use (I do use an Asus SC-200 which is also 810 based). The only thing to remember is that you can't boot from devices attached to these cards unless the motherboard BIOS includes the SDMS code (most Asus boards used to). -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
