I'd like to know if this is an acceptable choice in your books :-) What mainboard/SCSI controller/SCSI drives do you recommend most? Secondly I'm wondering what EtherExpress PRO card is being used in the wcarchive.cdrom.com machine, there doesn't seem to be any specific information exept that it's a model 100B. The intel site mentioned the Server adapter (with some i960 chip), the T4 PCI adapter and the TX PCI adapter. Which one will work best (full duplex) with the fxp driver? Server setup: Asus P/I-P6RP7D + 200MHz PPro 4 * 64MB Parity SIMMs Adaptec 3940UW PCI SCSI adapter 2 * Quantum AtlasII QM34550ALSW 4.5GB UW SCSI3 harddrives Comments? TIA for sharing experience/knowledge/opinions :-) cheers, Jeroen. PS: sorry if you're subscribed to all three mailinglists ;-)
