John, >>>"intel does integrate scsi on their server motherboards and on some of their high performance workstation motherboards." As I posted previously, Intel's latest and most powerful motherboards/servers, the Xeon based ones use Symbios. Tony B (3210 ) (Trial Member) From: Tony Viola Tuesday, Jul 28 1998 8:05PM ET Reply # of 3305 Tony B, I agree that SCSI is far from dead. Au Contraire, it's very much alive and well. It looks like Adaptec doesn't necessarily have the inside track on it anymore, though. Seems Symbios has gotten themselves designed in on Intel's upcoming Xeon based servers. The SC450NX, below, is Intel's flagship server product. A huge goal that Intel has for it (actually the Xeon chips in it) is to raise their ASP's from the lows that have happened because of the sub $1000, or, whatever PC, and some competition from AMD, etc. Besides that, this server and its cousins are going to vault NT way over the top of UNIX (I know Intel has had a couple of flaws in the Xeon chipset). Kind of surprising to me that they're taking Symbios along for the ride, instead of Adaptec. The first URL has the detailed spec., the second has a pretty picture. Point to the descriptives of the various components in the server, and see them pop out for more detail. developer.intel.com developer.intel.com
