I just bought one here in Canada for $165+taxes, so I would imagine you could get it for ~$125 USD. Its an Ultra/Ultra Wide SCSI with lots of niffty features. Seems to work quite well with FreeBSD 2.1.7 and 2.2.1, however I havent made heavy use of it just yet.... ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa (mike@sentex.net) * To do is to be -- Nietzsche Sentex Communications Corp, * To be is to do -- Sartre Cambridge, Ontario * Do be do be do -- Sinatra (http://www.sentex.net/~mdtancsa) *
