The Quantum Grand Prix has only been slammed in this list at least 5 times in the last 2 weeks. DO NOT buy it!!! We have seen compatibility problems between it and numorous controllers (ESPECIALLY the NCR 53C810 based controller). This drive claims to be ``SCSI-III'' and looks to have some rather strange compatibility problems. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
