Thanks for all the replies.  It looks like VLB is the way to go.  How much
improvement did you see in the IBM adapter vs the Buslogic?  What are
the approximate prices?  I was staying away from the Adaptec because I 
had heard about so many cable sensitivity problems.  Does the IBM have
the same problem?

Thanks.
