I apologize if I'm not being too helpful here, but I bought a SIIG
scsi adapter once, becuase it was cheaper than the adaptecs. It
sucked. Never again. I always use adaptec now. I'm curious to know
why you won't use adaptec. I use scsi bus systems primarily, and
in i386 boxes I have found adaptec to work in all these systems:
os/2, DOS 6, win 3.1, 95, NT 4.0, fBSD, and Linux. The SIIG card
wouldn't work with os/2, and thats where I tossed it. That was some
time ago though, maybe they are better now...
