Yes...  ...and I can get the 3274 for a LOT less money.  The only
Adaptec board in the same price range is one of the AVA series
(PIO, no smarts)...  :(  If I had all the money in the world, I
wouldn't have to consider the cheaper alternatives...  (That's
what a wife, two kids, a house and a minivan does to you!)  ;-)

Yes, I agree.  [Shrug]  But, I have it already and FWIW, it does
work with Linux...  The only thing I use it for is my Zip drive
and my musical sampler, so I just think of it as a high speed
serial port anyway...  ;-)

Thanks for your reply,

Hmm, I wonder if _everything_ I say is a "non-record"...

The hardest thing in the world is to truly think for oneself.  It is
amazing how many people have let angst replace their self confidence.
