If you can afford it, the Adaptec 2842 is a much better adapter. The most important consideration in adding VLB adapters to your system is that the VLB spec only allows for 2 adapters at 33 MHz and up. I've never been able to get 3 VLB adapters to work together above 25 MHz, even if none of them were bus-masters. (I.e., a video adapter, a dumb IDE adapter, and a dumb 100Mbps ethernet adapter.) --- chris
