As my hockey coach used to yell, "Good eye!". Thanks for pointing that out. What I am not clear on from glancing at the mylex site is that they seem to be cards only and cards with boxes ? Am I right in thinking that you supply the case ? From the .pdf file "The DAC960S is designed to fit anywhere inside a disk array enclosure, including in a 5-1/4" inch drive bay. And you don't need disk driver software, because it interfaces directly through a SCSI adapter. An optional DBX960S distribution board fits together with the DAC960SU edge connectors, and provides standard connection for both the host and drive channels and the serial and I/O ports. Or, the DAC960SU can be plugged directly into the array's backplane. " Do you save substantially 'putting it together' yourself ? What sort of price have people paid (in USD), and who is generally a good outlet to buy from ? Thanks for any input anyone can provide on this topic. ---Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Tancsa, tel 01.519.651.3400 Network Administrator, mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
