Are you referring to boards with the onboard NCR PCI SCSI BIOS where
you just have to buy the inexpensive adapter for $70?

If not, what boards are you referring to?

Can you specifically tell me which SMC cards you're getting?  The
Computer Shopper ads are really deceiving.  I'm assuming this is
based on the WD8013 chip.  Does it have a 16K Tx/Rx buffer on it?

Thanks,
