| title: | RE SCSI Card Recomendations |

This is typical of Microsofts ploys. Use the identical hardware/software.
Just make a minor mode to allow the driver to detect an otherwise
nonexistent difference and then charge out the ass for the hook to turn on
the same functionality. I thought Unix was supposed to stop this type of
nonsense.

If you dont care about performance, you can run any 875 based adapter in
Tru64, but it will run with the psiop (written for Symbios 810 chip) driver
at SCSI-2 speeds, not Ultra SCSI speeds. Only IntraServer and Compaq 875
based boards will run with the itpsa driver and give you Ultra SCSI
performance.

Same Functionality, MUCH less $$$.
Yes, I own around a dozen of them. The issue though, is if
they WORK WITH TRU64. If you followed the posts over the past
two weeks or so, Kevin Mocklin from Intraserver specifically
said that OS uses only licensed cards. Most cheap 53c875
cards are NOT licensed for TRU64.
