Re: Checking on SCSI

Preliminary Configuration...Motherboard .. Tyan S1696DLUA dual PII with onboard Adaptec SCSI...

This thread is yielding some nice results!

[Please forgive me if anything mention has been hashed over before. I've got four kids of varying ages with the flu, and my wife and I are beginning to get tunnel-visioned!]

Is the onboard controller equivalent to an Adaptec 2940UW Ultra Wide SCSI? I believe you can get a lot of performance bang for the buck with a UW-SCSI drive, even considering the price. If the idea of this machine is to take in and save real-time market data, a UW-SCSI drive may be critical to your satisfaction.

I've not used this board, but the Supermicro P6DLS has the 2940UW controller on the m-board. I've neither used it nor compared it to the Tyan board you've spec'd out (it does support dual PIIs).

The SAG Electronics site may be of interest to you. They have a good reputation for building to order with high quality parts. They also have an on-line configuation & pricing system. I mean "on-line," not "tell us what you want and we'll have a salesman call you."
