I'll be shopping for a new [34]86 machine at the next West Coast Computer Fairre and I expect that I'll want a 300-600Mb SCSI disk (possibly a Fuji M2263SA, which I have experience with on my Sun 386i). What controller should I go for, and how can I ensure maximum documentation of it and the drive? Ie. what do I ask the vendor for? Is the choice of CPU bus (ISA/EISA/MCA) a consideration? How do floppies fit into all of this? I get the impression from comments here that Adaptec is the company to go with for controller, and that it sets the standard for ISA bus SCSI implementations. I expect to add other SCSI peripherals in the future, so I'd like to get developer documentation as well as the "how-to-plug-it-in-and-set-the-jumpers" kind. Ken (shiva@well.sf.ca.us)
