It was a UW for like $60, which is hard to beat. http://www.centrix-intl.com/ has a Symbios 8251S using the '825 chipset (UWSCSI) for a budget busting $39. They used to have the single ended SYM8751SP for $59 but have apparently sold out and only have the differential version now. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
