Same here. the 2930 series (most are U but I have a u2B)is a good
board that seems to be unbreakable. I must have at least 6 in use
plus another here at home. Two of those were installed to support
Plextor CDwriters exclusively on systems with IDE disks. Mixing drive
interface types on SCSI busses is somthing I DO NOT do, two many
performance impacts.

with their PCI
products, I'd use the alternative.
I've never had any problems with the 2930U with CD-R's,
scanners and hard disks. I've not used the 2940U2B enough to make a
judgement yet. I'll likely be running both in the same machine soon
though so that I don't have to try and mix the LVD and SCSI-2 stuff
on the same bus. The 2930U would be just for legacy stuff I don't
feel like upgrading anyway, such as my scanner.
