Interesting, I can get the LVD model for somewhere
around $20-30 cheaper than
the UW-SCSI model. OTOH, it's still more than I want to spend to see if it
will work or not since I don't have any U160 controllers.
I don't care if it's HD only, as I want to use to hook a couple nice big
HD's up to my OpenVMS box. What can I say, I'm looking for quieter storage.
I think there is a fair chance that the company would be willing to work
with you if there are issues. So far I know of people using various
cards from Acard on Macs, Suns, and SGIs without a single glitch for
harddrives.
If you don't want to spend a lot of money, just wait for one of the
cards to be on ebay. Not always cheap, but my UW-SCSI Acard was $25.
At the moment there is one 7720UW from a seller named 55trucker that
looks like it might possibly go for a similar price.
BTW, sorry to be so long in replying. classiccmp goes to a seperate
folder and I don't get around to reading it all that frequently.
