With a single disk, you're unlikely to see any significant difference in performance between SCSI and EIDE, and you'll be spending a premium to use SCSI. SCSI really shines when multiple devices are contending for the bus. If you want to spend your money making you system faster, buy as much RAM as your system can hold. That being said, pretty much any Adaptec card will work well for you. -- Dave Carrigan Seattle, WA, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.rudedog.org/ | ICQ:161669680 UNIX-Apache-Perl-Linux-Firewalls-LDAP-C-C++-DNS-PalmOS-PostgreSQL-MySQL
