Adaptec 1540s are well supported and very inexpensive. I've you've got a PCI system, pick up an SC200 (An NCR/Symbios 810 based device_) If you really want device support for this device, write the drivers yourself. Nobody else seems to think that the time investment is worth it for those cards. /* Matthew N.
