That is, if you're not running a very high powered server. The performance is very good, at about half the price of the cheapest Adaptec cards, and it works fine with FreeBSD (at least under current, I'm _very_ happy with it!) It comes with both 8 and 16 bit connectors. > > best, > John Gather > > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
