Thanks for the information, and its not a worthwhile tradeoff. I'll stick
with the 958. I just found it for $210 at TechData.
Also, there doesn't appear to be any information the the differential
version of the card. Not that I have any differential drives, I was just
wondering if I'm choosing the correct card. I wanted to make sure it was
as confusing as it is with choosing a 2940...
Thanks again,
Dave
