There products have always been cheap, the quality is not too bad (considering the large amount of total junk floating in this market), but there is just less and less call for add-on boards. Everything is being built on to the mother board.

There will be some large orders I would imagine because less mfg companies are focusing on these products, but they will probably be few and far between. It continually amazes me the number of people who will spend a lot of money trying to limp along with their current computers so the current products will have some support.

FWIW, per a network engineer at Bristol Meyers-Squibb and GE...new personal PCs do typically come with EIDE built on board. However, there are devices such as scanners, etc, that require SCSI connections, so there will continue to be a need for SCSI cards. EIDE cards are good for upgrading to faster (33 mb/sec) HDDs, and for cheap internal cdroms on SCSI servers.
