For a new PCI machine, the | Adaptec 2940's are a good choice, or the NCR-based cheap controllers. | The latter require a board with an appropriate BIOS support however if | you wanna boot from this controller, so about the only choice is an | ASUS mainboard. No, there are definitely other boards also which have the NCR SCSI BIOS. I have a noname Pentium board here (made in China, no markings of any kind, but I've been told it's made by QDI). It has the NCR SCSI BIOS, and boots just fine from a Seagate Barracuda with the ASUS SC-200 controller. There is nothing mentioned about the NCR SCSI BIOS in the manual for the board, by the way. I'm sure Stefan Esser could tell you about other motherboards (aside from ASUS) which have the NCR SCSI BIOS. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
