I was going to get one also an AVA 1515, because it's cheap and I don't want to spend too much money on ISA since I will be moving to PCI in < 2 years. My idea was to go SCSI so that I can transfer things to the new system easier. The next step up is the AHA 1542 which is almost 2x the price of the 1515 here. Does anybody have any suggestions of an alternative or have the 1515 been working for them. I will only have one device on the 1515 (a tape drive). -Feisal -- Feisal Mohammed <f.o.mohammed@swansea.ac.uk>
