I'd very much recommend you check out ] there web page BEFORE you purchase anything else. www.advansys.com I've heard good things about AdvanSys here and elsewhere, but I can't say I found their web site very informative. It doesn't even explain what the differences are among the ABP-920, 930, 940, and 950 PCI controllers (either that, or I was too dumb to find the proper page). By the way, the 930 you recommend is flagged as "OEM only" on their web page. Did you mean the 920 (or 940), or do you have an OEM source you wouldn;t mind sharing with me? brian -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______ _____ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brian A.
