You should be able to walk away with one for about US$60 or so. Spend just a little bit more than the $60.00 (more like $72.00) and get your self an NCR 53C810 based controller _with_ active termination. The real low cost ones are using passive termination which is not such a grand idea if you plan to run fast SCSI-II devices. Other than that I pretty much agree with the replies you have seen so far. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
