My understanding was that the deal was done and official. These are completely wild guesses, but they might (probably?) make a line of inexpensive SCSI adapters based on the Symbios chips, sort of like what they did with the old Future Domain adapters (i.e. the AHA-2910/2920). Or it is also possible that they will basically leave Symbios alone -- "you do things your way, just rmember that we own you now, and you have to put 'subsidiary of Adaptec' on your website/documentation/etc.'" Donald Burr - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
