Their web page says the LVD stands for low voltage differential, and I've got bad memories of dealing with Quantum differentials ... the IBM data says it's fully compatible, on my existing bus, with single-ended scsi (at a lower transfer rate, only 40MB), but I'm wondering. At $175 for 4.5G, it seems like it would be a good deal if I knew it to work .... does anyone have any experience with it? BTW, this is for a hobby system, not a professional system, so anyone suggesting I spend triple the price for extra reliability is going to be politely ignored. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
