If two cards |> work I can buy two cards .. Well, then just buy a NCR/Symbios 53c810 based card. (The cheap cards only offer passive termination, but both the ASUS SC-200 and NCR/SYM8100S come with active terminator.) Cheaper and faster and known to work with other cards (whether PCI or not) on the same system. Performance tests with 3 cards indicate near 25MB/s performance through the file system (5 parallel Bonnie runs on 5 disk drives). But, well, I'm biased :) Regards, STefan -- Stefan Esser, Zentrum fuer Paralleles Rechnen Tel: +49 221 4706021 Universitaet zu Koeln, Weyertal 80, 50931 Koeln FAX: +49 221 4705160 ============================================================================== http://www.zpr.uni-koeln.de/~se <se@ZPR.Uni-Koeln.DE>
