 * I am just about to get an Atlas 2 UW SCSI 3 drive and was wondering which
 * supported controller will get the best out of the drive?

I would recommend an NCR (53c875).  The Adaptec 2940UW is a fine card
too but seems to uncover the bugs in the older firmware.  I was losing 
several files per day to bad inodes and such.

Quantum hasn't come up with a firmware upgrade for the wide Atlas-IIs.
(You can only find narrow Atlas-IIs on their ftp site "ftp.qntm.com".)
