  I have had a BusLogic 956C (Fast/Wide SCSI II) card for a couple of
  months now, and 2 HAWK 1GB F/W drives. I have been a little bit
  disappointed by the performance of that combo under Win'95.

  I posted a few questions, and the result is that:
     - Win'95 is imply not a good SCSI plaform
     - The BusLogic adapter is not a great performer....

    I agree with the first one, and i will probably try to install Linux and NT 
  for fun and see what kind of performance i get. The second argument however 
  surprised me... Can anybody confirm this "allegation" ? Should i send the 
  BusLogic back and get another Fast/Wide adapter ?

The BusLogic BT-956C has been an excellent performer in my system, but then
I run Linux and not Win95.  With a poor SCSI implementation above it, it's
quite possible that it might not perform up to its potential.
