Thanks to all who responded to my question about the Asus SC200. Thanks, especially, to Rod, for a detailed explanation that clarifies (for me) how PCI interrupt handling works. Rod, I will contact you off-line in the next month or two to see if we can purchase future systems from you. A follow-up question, that I hope is of general interest: how does the SC200 stack up against the Adaptec 2940U? The SC200 is quite a bit cheaper; at what point does it make sense to spring for a higher-end SCSI host adapter (assuming the 2940U is higher end)? Some systems I build are clear candidates for the SC200; on others (multiple disks + a DAT drive, e.g.), I'm not so sure. Thoughts, anyone? Jim Shankland Flying Fox Computer Systems, Inc.
