I'm thinking about purchasing a Seagate ST-296N and I would like to know what a good SCSI controller would be. I am running an Everex 386/16 and would like this to be compatible with SCO Xenix and AT+T Unix. I would also like the ability to add an SCSI tape drive in the future and perhaps another SCSI hard drive as well (2 hard drives AND a tape drive). Can anyone give me any pointers here? -- Jesse W.

The AHA-1540A/1542A host adapters are supported in SCO's releases (2.3GT and UNIX). You can add up to 3 more hard drives and 3 tape drives if you like. I don't know about AT&T UNIX and what they support. The one thing you better be aware of: The Seagate drive is a slow drive. Performance with this drive will be worse than a good RLL controller and drive. Roy Neese Adaptec Central Field Applications Engineer UUCP @ {texbell,attctc}!cpe!adaptex!neese merch!adaptex!neese
