And most of the people say the 810 NCR fast scsi-II controllers (ASUS SC-200) are almost equal to the performance of the 2940. The fast and wide NCR 825 based controllers are supported in all version of FreeBSD, and the Ultra Wide NCR 875 controllers are supported in version 2.2 and later. By all means use the ASUS 200 for a second controller. I recommend it. :) -- Craig Shaver (craig@progroup.com) (415)390-0654 Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088
