What problems do you see with LSI. LSI Logic acuiring the business is just "SCSI coming home". NCR originally developed most of the SCSI as I recall, and LSI is the old NCR group - so if any of the original team is stil there that means they have more years of knowledge than other vendors. I'm just asking this as question - having no hands on use of their product and just knowhing their backgroun. Bill -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com
