Hi all
I'm looking for a not expensive board, this board will handle hard-drives
and CD-RW devices.I don't know too much about internals of SCSI, but
looking at the unmantained SCSI-HOWTO I think that the board should have
at least the following characteristics:
Not "expensive"
Ultra-Wide (16 bit bus at 20Mhz)
Well supported by Linux (Advansys, BusLogic, NCR, Ultrastor?)
PCI bus master
Scatter Gatter
Command Queueing
Support to more than one SCSI board
I have take a look at 2.0.33 kernel and I think that these may be a good
choices:
Buslogic and other BT-958 or BT-950 based
NCR 860, 875 and 890 based
Comments, suggestions?
The Mylex/BusLogic SCSI Host Adapters seem to have taken a hefty price drop
recently. I found the following prices at NECX a couple of says ago:
[*]BUSLOGIC BY MYLEX In Stock
Our Price
BT-948 ULTRA SCSI PCI W/O CBL $102.95 YES
BT-958 ULTRA SCSI WIDE PCI W/O CBL $149.95 YES
BT-958D ULTRA WIDE SCSI DIFFERENTIAL $172.95 YES
FLASHPOINT DL ULTRA SCSI PCI W/CBL $151.95 YES
FLASHPOINT DL ULTRA SCSI PCI W/RAIDPLUS $137.95 YES
FLASHPOINT DW ULTRA SCSI WIDE PCI RAIDPL $183.95 YES
FLASHPOINT DW ULTRA SCSI WIDE PCI W/0 CB $160.95 YES
FLASHPOINT LT ULTRA SCSI PCI W/RAIDPLUS $68.95 YES
FLASHPOINT LW ULTRA SCSI WIDE PCI RAIDPL $91.95 YES
FLASHPOINT LW ULTRA SCSI WIDE PCI W/O CB $80.95 YES
KT-948 ULTRA SCSI PCI ACCEL NOFLOP W/CBL $137.95 YES
KT-958 ULTRA SCSI WIDE PCI NOFLOP W/CBL $172.95 YES
This makes them much more competitive in pricing to the Symbios-based products.
