I remember some figures that claimed the AHA2940 could get about 20 % more than the NCR. while the 2940 is a faster card, it's also much more expensive. an AHA2940 will cost around 190, whereas an NCR53c810 (biosless) is a mere 60 (i just bought one)... and the 815 w/ bios is around 110. it makes much more sense if you have multiple drives to buy may NCR's and put less drives on each, allowing each drive a large portion of the scsi bus. ksh
