By far and away, your best bet is to get an Adaptec 1542B (Not the C, I think there's still problems with it). Adaptec is the only controller that's really being pushed, although I am sure the other implementations are fine, Adaptec is by far the most popular, and gives good performance. -- Jaye Mathisen, COE Systems Manager (406) 994-4780 410 Roberts Hall,Dept. of Computer Science Montana State University,Bozeman MT 59717 osyjm@cs.montana.edu
