Actually the Fireport 20 is an ultra scsi card, if I am not mistaken. I was wondering if they were using the 860 (ultra narrow) or a crippled 875, or something else. At this point it is academic for me -- I decided I didn't trust diamond enough not to do something funny with the card, and ordered a Tekram 390U. (I wanted an external 50-pin connecter rather than a 68, hence the U over the W. I don't care much about wide anyway -- just seems like a good way to pay more for cables ;) ) 5'oclock computers (www.5oclock.com) has the U for $82, BTW. Can't comment on them as a vendor as I have not yet received my card. The F is a couple of bucks more.
