Yes... ...and I can get the 3274 for a LOT less money. The only Adaptec board in the same price range is one of the AVA series (PIO, no smarts)... :( If I had all the money in the world, I wouldn't have to consider the cheaper alternatives... (That's what a wife, two kids, a house and a minivan does to you!) ;-) [Re: IN2000] >Nope, that is a PIO mode, zero intelegent, no bus master scsi >controller. Works fine for DOS, but makes a very poor unix >controller. Yes, I agree. [Shrug] But, I have it already and FWIW, it does work with Linux... The only thing I use it for is my Zip drive and my musical sampler, so I just think of it as a high speed serial port anyway... ;-) Thanks for your reply, -Doug Doug Wellington doug@sun1paztcn.wr.usgs.gov System and Network Administrator US Geological Survey Tucson, AZ Project Office (602) 670-6821 x26 According to proposed Federal guidelines, this message is a "non-record". Hmm, I wonder if _everything_ I say is a "non-record"... The hardest thing in the world is to truly think for oneself. It is amazing how many people have let angst replace their self confidence.
