Unfortunately, I can't really offer an opinion on that one because I
haven't really used it. If it's ethernet you need to have and want to
free-up a PCI port, then Asante makes a SCSI>10baseT adaptor that has
a pass-thru so you can keep your other SCSI devices plugged in. This
would free up a port and they can be found all over eBay usually.
Maybe even new.
