All the multi-masters use the same commands, so the 958 and the 948 are compatible with the 946. Buslogic will gladly send you the programming info. In fact I have the docs and plan to update our Buslogic in July (I have an AdvanSys driver to finish first). >Do I correctly understand, though, that the bt driver doesn't do tag >queueing? So that the Buslogic, although more physically stable than >Adaptec controllers, is really a waste of money right now? No tagged queueing. Is it a waste of money? That's for you to decide. The comments about physically stability are interesting, though. My 2940 seem "solid" enough. 8-) >I'm trying to settle on which controller to use for future systems; I'm >guessing the Adaptec 3940 or 3940W. For the moment. Yes. In the future, that may change to a Buslogic or AdvanSys. You might also try an NCR which is very stable for 95% of the devices on the market. >Thanks, >Kevin Martin >sigma@pair.com > -- Justin T.
