A company mailed me with a deal on an onstream backup solution. What

What are they talkig about!? ;-)

when I use an Adaptec AHA-2906 (5MB/sec controller) SCSI controller
in the server. I upgraded the controller to a 2940UW (40MB/sec
controller) and now I get -519 errors on 1/3 of both mac and PC

Well, IE 5 didn't help. However, I found the very dangerous and
