For that matter, what is the difference between the 29160N and the
19160?  I
remember seeing both of those cards on Adaptec's site awhile back and I 
still can't figure out what the difference is between them other than
the
29160N mentioning support for Unix as well as Windows. 

FYI, I have a 19160 in my PC and it runs like a champ.
