TIA! > > -Gary Margiotta > TBE Internet Services > http://www.tbe.net I can't comment on 53C810 and -815 PCI SCSI controllers but my Tekram DC-390F (53c875) has served me very well, I have had no problems with it and the Asus SC-875 is now a little cheaper at $110 or so. I do have to admit, however, that I am not getting ultra-wide speeds out of my Tekram even though I have an ultra-wide capable IBM UltraStar 2es but I haven't really looked into it yet to see if this is just a configuration problem or what. --------- Christopher R.
