Cc: jfarmer@goldsword.com Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Looking at getting a Wide SCSI PCI card for a new server here. Motherboard is a Tyan dual processor "Tomcat III." So far I've found 2 possibliities, the ASUS SC275, and the Tekram 390F item. The tekram appears to decent & I get grab one for $30 to $60 less than the ASUS. I know the ASUS card works well in FreeBSD, but if the Tekram is as good & supported (It does appear to be a plain 875 board with onboard flashable BIOS), well saving $30 to $60 _always_ appeals to the Scots blood in me (:^>, being part Scots, I guess I can say such things..) So, ASUS or Tekram? Opinions, experiences, advice wanted. Guarantied that I will listen, & do something! Thanks John ps. In case it matters, the adpator (& the Tyan dual Tomcat) are going into a web server. While plain scsi would prob. be fast enough, I have some wide Seagate 2.1gb Hawks just setting here. (couldn't get them sold fast enough before prices tumbled... Did get the Adaptec 3940W card sold tho...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- John T.
