Jock, I just noticed in your profile that you've turned 87. Geez, we better be more careful now, especially nitpickers like me, what we say to you. Is that right? If someone knocked me off my chair at that age, I might say I've fallen and can't get up!
Anyway, another clarification (take my chances).
Symbios will clearly benefit from the growth of the Xeon chip, and
the commensurate growth of NT, which will become the standard on many
individual PCs in the not so distant future. (Although I would hedge my bets
because of Linux).
Makes no difference. Linux runs on x86 (Intel) based PCs too. So, why would Linux cause a bet hedge? WRT Xeon and Symbios SCSI controllers designed into their server nodes, I need to go to the Intel server page and make sure Symbios is still there (paranoid). Yes they still are, two chips per motherboard/node. I still think this was a huge win over Adaptec for Sym/LSI. BTW, you may enjoy viewing the list of companies that Intel sells these motherboards and nodes to:

Kind of a who's who of server folks, huh?
