Emory, FWIW I've had no problems running both an HP IIcx and an NP 4c in between the SCSI adapter and a zip drive. Just make sure that the chain is terminated properly after the last device. I think the HP "recommendation" comes from the fact that they sell and support the adaptec # you were given as a PCI solution, for folks who bought scanners when they were shipped with only ISA cards (some of which no longer play nice with newer OS's or motherboards. Were I in your position, I'd probably go for the P2B-F, unless I had reason to believe that there were particular problems with it. this will let you get the SCSI card that works best for you. I had heard of anecdotal problems with the built-in SCSI on that board. I'm sure it works fine for most, but if it didn't, you'd effectively be out a PCI slot. Sorry it's been such a hassle. Good luck, Dave
