Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Re: ULTRA II SCSI card

Content Type: text/plain

JR:

I chose the U160 level as best meeting my immediate and foreseeable
future needs. One of my favorite suppliers is www.scsi4me.com
I think Steven made the U160 choice as well, although he may have
moved on.

I especially like the specs of the Adaptec 29160N, since all my
external devices are slow and narrow (or can be). Dual channel is
the way to go if you have a mix of SCSI devices, as I do. Single
channel is great for just SCSI HDs.

In the end, however, I chose LSI because of driver issues and
because I got what I wanted a a good price. For me, it is far better
to get what I need, possibly "for a few dollars more" (R) (TM),
than to compromise with a cheap alternative and do the job twice.
[Low frustration tolerance combined with innate crankiness -- just
ask my better half.]

At one time, HPFS386 was available on Hobbes. I'm told it is easy
to switch back and forth. No experience with it here, though.
