Thanks for any help. --Ron I use an INFOSYS MCA controller in a Novell 3.11 Server. It is a cached controller, but does no busmaster DMA. They claim to be as fast as the AHA1640 with busmaster this way. After lots of problems with the Adaptec 1640 and virtually no help from this wondeful company we trashed our Adaptec and bought the Infosys controller. Since then - no problems. It runs like a champ. If you are a security freak, they even have a controller doing DES encryption on the fly... I guess it is a German company, but they also list a US address in the Manuals: Computer Elektronik Infosys of America Inc. 512-A Herndon Parkway Herndon, Va. 22070 Phone: (703) 435-3800 Fax: (703) 435-5129 (I'm nothing but a satisfied customer) Regards Christoph Weber-Fahr -- Christoph Weber-Fahr | E-Mail: weber@rhrk.uni-kl.de Universitaet Kaiserslautern, KIT | S-Mail: Postfach 3049 Tel. 0631/205-3391 | D-6750 Kaiserslautern -------------------------- My personal opinion only ---------------------
