He was previously backing the WD-AT240xo controller, but said the Chicony had supposedly higher reliability and comes with a serial/parallel port. Does anyone know anything about the Chicony controllers? What is the REAL transfer rate from disk--(SCSI)-->controller--(ST506-like interface)-> memory like for these beasts? Does emulating the ST506 really slow things down? As I understand it, it limits the controller to 2 SCSI devices due to this emulation business.... kev
