I didn't (not yet anyways) but am shopping for a pair of 29160s and noticed by reading the fine print that there are bare cards, white boxes with cables but no manuals, and complete "kits" with board, manuals, drivers, etc. I also noticed that the types of cables differ slightly between the white box and the retail kit. go to pricewatch.com and search on 19260. they sort hits in ascending price order, so the bare boards appear first, then the white boxes, then the complete kits. Some give enough description to see the diffs I have mentioned. (I did this in the context of 29160, so your search on 19160 may differ...) Also be aware of differences between the various xx160 series of cards as to int/ext connectors: http://www.adaptec.com/products/guide/ultra160scsi.html -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
