In article <STEPHENS.95Feb1162921@sycamore.pprd.abbott.com> you write >I was going to buy a >Micropolis drive but they have compatibility problems with the SCSI card I >was getting (Adaptec 2842)... I've been looking at systems, and it looks like an Adaptec 2842 (VLB SCSI) is the best bet around for cheap but fast SCSI. I'd be running NetBSD or FreeBSD on it. How had your experience been with it? Is it fast? Does it support full SCSI-2 and Fast SCSI? cjs -- Curt Sampson a09878@giant.rsoft.bc.ca Opinions are mine, Fluor Daniel Wright, Ltd. 604 488 2226 not Fluor Daniel's. 1075 W.
