Hmmm.... I wasn't thorough enough when i said that there is no support in the driver; there /is/ support for all ultra 160 adapters from adaptec as someone on this list pointed out (thanks!). %-6 And the hardware works just fine, except the cable or the active terminator. So go ahead and buy it, just be sure to double-check the cabling and the terminator. :-) However there's still one questions remaining: What is the sequencer code for (what does it do?)?
