You must have not read the documentation really carefully. In the FAQ on the section for SCSI host adapters the 282x is explicitly listed. : Another question: as I wasn't able to find further information about the : 2825, will it give me a speed improvement compared to an AHA-1542B? No. The 282x are PIO, not busmastering, adapters. To get the low CPU utilization results you'll have to get a 284x which is a busmastering VLB adapter or the Buslogic BT-44x. -- /* | Spam violation - e-mail dumped... ** Internet: jca@accessnv.com | Don't blame me, I didn't vote for Clinton. ** jca@anv.net | Intel is the word for 'errata.' */
