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?)

Recommended SCSI cards

1998-08-09 Thread Mark Mickan
I'm going to buy a SCSI card soon, and I'm interested in peoples
opinions and experiences.

In particular, I've seen IWill 2935UW cards for a reasonable price,
Adaptec 2940UW cards for nearly twice the price of the IWill, and
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,
Mark
