(for my laptop :) ) Hmm, I thought the Qlogic was a Adaptec clone, or maybe it can be configured to be a Adaptec clone. FWIW, though, here are my recommendations: They're basically simple: Adaptec. For the ISA, get the 1542. For VLB, get the 2842 (i think that's the number). For PCI, either get a motherboard, or a card, with the NCR 53<something or other> chipset, this is the most widest supported chip where PCI drivers are concerned. As for PCMCIA, I'm not entirely sure, though I'd bet that Adaptec makes a PCI card that can work with existing Adaptec drivers. Just my $0.02 worth...
