Hello,
I'm currently using IDE at home but I would like switch to SCSI, I believe
that UW ncr53c8xx based boards are a good & not expensive option. Also I'm
interested on them because I have heard many times that helps in driver
software.
I do not know about boards that uses this chips, is there a list
somewhere?
I think that this boards doesn't support:
+ Command overlapping
+ Scatter/Gatter
I think this features are supported by DPT boards...
Does this is a big drawback?
Any comment/suggestion/links will be greatly appreciated,
regards,
Ulisses
PD: this boards are better than aic7xxx based boards, isn't it?
