I'd like to add a strong "second" here. I purchased a 400A last year at
an unbelievably low price from a liquidator. I'm at a loss to explain the
low price except that perhaps these things were discontinued? Anyhow, it
came with almost no documentation, so I prepared myself for the documen-
tation "run-around". Boy, was I ever wrong!! When I called Adaptec in
Milpitas, they told me mail $5 to a special mail stop at Adaptec and include
the model number of the product I was seeking documentation for. I got
a *very* complete manual back in less than a week. It included a schematic
for a host adapter and source code fragments (Z80 asm) for a cbios. I
was amazed! We should cherish organizations that treat their customers
like this. It appeared that *any* manual on an Adaptec product could be
had for $5. That's saying a lot for this day and age!
