Hello,
I search a *cheap* scsi card for my linux box. I hesitate between the Asus
SC200 and Tekram DC 390. SCSI 2 is enough for me.
The major disadvantage of the Asus is that it doesn't have the SCSI BIOS.
Is it really important (i don't need to boot on the scsi disk) ? And i read
that to use this card the PC motherboard must have support for NCR ? Is
that true ? And how to know if the motherboard support it ?
For the Tekram, it seems that it is based on an AMD chip which is less
performant and less supported (for driver) than the NCR chip. Again, is
that true ?
In fact, i would rather to buy the Tekram because they have done a driver
for Linux and FreeBSD and i think it's very nice :-)
Thanks you. Stephane.
