Hi *,

I plan to purchase SCSI devices (Hard drive, CD-ROM, Tape drive, etc.)
in the future. Since the budget is tight, I will purchase only
SCSI controller recently.  And buy the others gradually.

Since the adaptor will be used in the next 3-5 years, I was told
that my best bet is Adaptec SCSI Bus Mastering.  I think it is
a SCSI-2, 16-bit card. I really new to this, so I'm asking for
more info and sugguestions.

I will use this SCSI adaptor primarily in FreeBSD env and OS/2 2.x.
Since I don't have any SCSI device now, I will borrow CDROM from
my work which is a Sun CDROM. I think the connector is for SCSI-2.
Thus, I wish the controller I buy will support SCSI-2.

I'm open to any comment/corrections.  Please emial me directly.
And if there is suff. interests, I'll post a summary.

Please email me

1. the brand name,
2. the model name,
3. interfaces suppted,
4. features (if any), and
5. price (and where can I get such price)

Thanks a lot!!!!
