Re: Recommended SCSI cards

1998-08-12 Thread Lee Bradshaw
I have used NCR SCSI controllers since in 1989 (not in linux then.) I
have a Buslogic flashpoint on my current system. I've had good luck
with all my NCR cards/motherboards and the cards can be very cheap. I
would probably go for a higher end card that had hardware RAID support
or stick with the cheap NCR/Symbios/LSI? (has the LSI purchase gone
through?)

 the cheapest DPT card for a little more than the Adaptec 2940UW.
 I'm open to other suggestions though.
 
 I'd like to get away with it as cheaply as possible, but I want
 something that will do the job well.  At the moment, that means
 burning CDs, but in the future will include reading hard disks
 and SCSI CD-ROMs and for use with a scanner.
 
 While I'm on the topic, the Panasonic 8x4x CD burner has been
 recommended as the best by a Windows enthusiast.  If anyone has
 had good or bad experiences with this drive or good experiences
 with others, please let me know.
 
 TIA,
