I'm thinking a PC164LX would be good for the task. Any recommendations for multichannel SATA controlers? Preferably 4+ channels on a single card. The QLogic 2100 is reported to operate in FC Target mode, can anyone confirm this? Thanks!! -brian -- "The reason I don't use Gnome: every single other window manager I know of is very powerfully extensible, where you can switch actions to different mouse buttons.
