Granted, but is there useful work to do? For most applications, the answer is no. >300 MHz system with Adaptec SCSI controller and fast SCSI disk. >400 MHz system with a UDMA disk on it. >winnner was: the old 300 MHz system with the SCSI drive Happy to hear it - I _am_ long ADPT. But I have to ask - are the disks otherwise equivalent, or is the SCSI drive faster (RPM, seek)? I want to see ADPT taking off with FC, RAID, and higher-end products, and moving on past SCSI. Cris
