2.88 MB floppy drive, scsi?

the 2940 line, especially the U and UW adapters, are very pricey but well worth it. I just bought a 2940UW in a buy-it-now for $40 since the regular bid items go for $60 and over and surplusers usually start at $50 or more. Of course for a 486 or slower Pentium with PCI that is overkill. I put a 2940U and 2940UW in my Server320 w/dual Pentium 200's as it can deal with the throughput unlike my old microchannel 9595-OPT. I prefer the 27xx line for older EISA machines - cheap enough but also fast. -> -----Original Message----- -> From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org -> [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Mike Ford -> Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 1:34 PM -> To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org -> Subject: Re: 2.88 MB floppy drive, scsi? -> -> -> >What's the fuss about adding SCSI . . .
