I have a P6DGU that has been flawless for me over the past 3 to 4 weeks. I
have an IBM 4GB Ultra2 boot disk on the motherboard Ultra2 channel and seven
other UW drives on two BusLogic BT-958's. I also have a CD and 4mm DAT on a
BT-948. Everything has been rock solid, and I highly recommend the board.
I'm using two 128MB ECC PC100 CAS2 DIMMs for RAM and a Netgear FA310TX
(tulip) ethernet card. Video is a Matrox G200 8MB AGP.
The only possible problem might be caused by IRQ sharing of some of the PCI
slots. The onboard Adaptec shares an IRQ with PCI slot 4. Slots 1 and 5
also share an IRQ. (could be different slots, but two IRQs are shared)

I can't remember the vendor off-hand, but you can always check
www.pricewatch.com. The retail box came with all of the SCSI cables (ultra2
cable with 3 connectors and a terminator, UW cable with 3 connectors and an
internal to external connector on the end, and a Ultra cable).
Hope this helps,
