If you go to http://www.adaptec.com/products/solutions/pcscsi.html, you can see there are several types of 2930's. A comparison of between the 2930 and 2940 is at http://www.adaptec.com/products/guide/ultrascsimatrix.html. The difference seems to be support from Adaptec for OS'es such as SCO and etc. They only list DOS amd Windows for the 2930. On http://www.adaptec.com/products/overview/scsi2930.html Adaptec claims it is ideal for SCSI CD-R, CD-RW (rewritable CD-ROMs), DVD, or removable drives. The 2940 is the one that adds SCSI HD's.
