Hi Steve,

Over a year ago, I bought what was supposed to be a 29160N on Ebay, but
it turned out to be an OEM 29160, with an external 68 pin connector --
not what I wanted. (I'm not even sure it is dual-channel, like the
"N".) I should have determined that right away, instead of months later
. . . but I didn't spend that much on it.

Yes, but did LSI have anything that was feature equivalent to the 29160N
? If so, what was the model # ? Their U320 cards all seems to have
RAID, which is well beyond anything I plan to do.

Must have been a short-lived error. HPFS386 sold separtely for hundreds
of $$, I thought.

btw, you never replied to my follow-up queries (email dated 2/20/05). I
have since made a couple purchases, one of which proved to be a mistake,
but I'd still value your comments.
