I have 2 Compaq's with 2940UW installed. 1 runs IDE for disk (tape,
cdrom and
a Syquest are currently on it), the other has 2 wide drives in it. Both
are
running 2.1.7, and I haven't had any problems at all.
When I get the money to upgrade my home SCSI controller (a 1542B), I'm
leaning
toward the 2940UW. Plan for the future. It's not that much more than a
2940U.
May as well.
Paul.
