Ack! You could do better! Throw away that old ISA piece of trash and
get a PCI SCSI controller. You should be able to get an NCR/Symbios
53c810 based card for less than $100 from whoever you bought your Asus
motherboard from. There is a very definite difference in disk
performance. Especially if your hard drive(s) support tagged-command-
queuing.
