Following up on my previous posting concerning the Adaptec SCSI controller as sold by Tandy, the controller is a ACH-1540 which is SCSI only. It is currently being sold at $349.00, but listed in their new catalog at $499.00. I mentioned that the price ($349.00) was a very good price, and that I felt it was very close to the current wholesale price. Well, I was almost right, following up this am I find that the following wholesale prices are in effect: ACH-1540 $299.00 ACH-1542 $325.00 The 1542 is a combination SCSI/Floppy controller. So, I stand by my original comment. If you need/want this controller I recommend that you seek out your local Tandy store and purchase it ASAP before they update their price lists. I am, needless to say, not affiliated with Tandy/Radio Shack in any way, just another consumer trying to save a buck. Noel -- Noel B.

Gee, a few months ago I bought the 1542 from Wyle, an Adaptec distributor. It was, I believe, $269. Possibly $279 but not even close to $300.` -- Phil Hughes, SSC, Inc. P.O.
