Hello SCSI gurus,

just a question -- I know that the driver is in work already.

Is Advansys PCI SCSI HDA any good from the technical point of view?

>From my (rather limited) experience with Advansys SCSI HBA
I got an impression that it is designed to fill a nishe
between NCR 53c810 and Adaptec 2940; it's price is
between those ones, but performance is worse than of above two.

We also had a headache while equipping the box for a customer
because of Advansys SCSI -- it wasn't supported by FreeBSD,
UnixWare drivers were dead, we weren't able to get some
working driver set, and SCO UNIX 3.2.4
was settled there at last; and the drivers were really bad,
NCR outperformed Advansys easily.

I think that device itself is probably not that bad, but the
drivers for UW and SCO were buggy?
