If EISA what SCSI controller would you recommend? The -current (soon) will work with 32MB and ISA (we have had the typical problems of a new implementation.) I STRONGLY suggest going EISA however (And I wish that I had.) The BT747S is a really good EISA controller -- rock solid and very much worth going to EISA. The BT545S ISA SCSI controller is good too, but EISA is THE way to go!!!! (I am using ISA and feel a little bit limited.) John dyson@implode.root.com
