The NCR card is cheaper and on a machine which isn't very disk intensive (and if you really need to save the $80 bucks or whatever) then I'd go with it. Buslogics seem to have better driver support under Linux. I believe the company was very helpful to people wanting to get driver support under Linux. I've used the PCI NCR cards before under 2.0.x kernels with absolutely *no* problems. They defnitely don't have performance problems. I've heard (although I have no first hand knowledge) that the Adaptec 2940 cards were kinda shitty under 1.2 kernels but that's been resolved with 2.0. -Vik -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
