   Precedence: bulk

   Does anybody know which PCI cards with wide SCSI NCR (Symbios) controllers
   are on the market?

   I'm trying to locate such a card (actually, three of them) for use in three
   ASUS P55T2P4 motherboards in connection with nine 2GB Quantum wide-SCSI ATLAS
   drives.

According to some advertisements in the German computer magazine c't (Heise Verlag) 
01/97:

	pg. 403: Comptronic Hardware
	         Eichholz 35
		 20459 Hamburg
	
		 Telefon 40 319 43 75/79
		 


   Preferably, it should be obtainable in either Germany or The Netherlands
   (Belgium might do, in a pinch).

   Any ideas?  Is this a bad idea?  Will it still boot from SCSI afterward?

   P.S. If one could choose between an ASUS P55T2P4 motherboard and a SOYO 5VA2
	(both with P133) for running Linux; which one would you pick (and why)?
	I tend to favour the ASUS, but maybe I'm wrong.
