Vivek,
Excellent info, thank you! As it happens, I do have a
320-2x on its way to me. I am replacing an Adaptec 3210S. I
had originally planned to use a 2130S, but the lack of a
manager put me off (not to mention just getting this Tyan
Thunder K8WE running...).
I did try a 320-2e, but the board did not enter BIOS
when the card was in slot 1. Tyan has not responded as to
whether this is a good thing or not, hence the waiting for
the 320-2x...
