Or is this only for > those controllers that are built into motherboards? ASUS SC200 (or something like that) if you require a brand name. Otherwise, any run-of-the-mill NCR *810 controller will do, as they are nothing more than the chip, a connector, and pcb traces binding them together. Virtually no OEM motherboards are delivered with SCSI on-board; the controllers I'm talking about are all PCI cards. Stefan Esser's driver is *very* good :) Your motherboard BIOS must have support for NCR 810 to work--all ASUS' I know do. Otherwise you need an 815, which are not that easy to find (since nobody needs them :) A generic card costs about USD 50 wholesale (here in Austria; probably less in USA). /Marino > > Warner >
