Could someone suggest a FAST SCSI controller for the 386DX-25. I would like to connect a large 600MB Fujitsu SCSI drive. Plus.. It should be compatible with UNIX.

Quite fast, well supported and inexpensive. The one caveat is that some machines (e.g. Zenith ISA-bus machines) can't handle the way it does bus-mastering. N.B. - If you have an Adaptec, you just *gotta* have SCSICNTL.EXE. Don't leave home without it... Ciprico has an intellegent SCSI card that looks like it would be *very* fast, and has Unix drivers, but I've never used it and I don't know of anyone who has. Oh, and it costs big $$$. -- ken seefried iii "A sneer, a snarl, a whip that ken@dali.cc.gatech.edu stings...these are a few of my favorite things..."
