Unfortunately for Adaptec I believe that your statement is substantially correct. Which leads me to a rather obvious question -- why is it that Adaptec hasn't made more of an effort to deliver a "high-end" server SCSI adapter and then to price that adapter at a high enough margin to attempt to compensate for the desktop market isssues you note? This used to be done (and probably still is) by the Unix vendors themselves as part of the deliverable -- you'd think that with NT this would be a good market for Adaptec. An example of a high-end server SCSI adapter could be a PCI-based quad SCSI adapter.
