Sorry, I misread the number. The 2940UW2 is around $190. The 2940UW is
around $160 to $170. (The perils of working with to little sleep...)
I tend to go with the Adaptec cards in Netware servers for clients (when
I can't talk them into a FreeBSD box...). Whatever can be said about
Adaptec, they are supported by _everybody_ and the good ones rock!
(I keep a 1542 around expressly because it will work with every OS
that I can think of.)
