It's better to ask questions like this on -hardware rather than -hackers. David E. Cross stands accused of saying: > I am looking to pick up a SCSI 3 Ultrawide card.

The Adaptec is about as good as they get, and the support is generally very good (although the driver does go through patches of instability when Adaptec make changes to their range or programming data). An alternative to be considered seriously is any card based on the NCR 875 chip; see http://www.tekram.com for one such device. These cards are _very_ well supported by FreeBSD, and the driver has been stable for a long time now. > David Cross -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
