Aren't we the guy who didn't have SCSI, so we couldn't use the hard drive 
which might or might not have been SCSI?

The thought plickens.

	Furthermore the AHA2920 is: 

	A: NOT an Adaptec design, not an AIC7xxx series chip (future domain)

	B: NOT busmastering. Not even DMA. Pure PIO. 

	C: NOT worth $60. I bought mine for $15.

Eric,

    you would be wrong..... (you really ought to check your facts)

    what you described is a 2920 A  ... what the seller had described
    was a 2920C. Which is all of the things he claimed. It is a 
    AIC78xx chip... and  pretty good little card. Any of the cards
    that came with the ez-scsi 5.0 upgrade he describe are at least a C
    version.

Yes I am.  This drive I was selling was a SCSI3 interface.  This card does
not have SCSI3 support.  There's a difference between SCSI1, SCSI2, and
SCSI3, not to mention the ultrawides stuff.  If this card could support
SCSI3, I would not have been selling the drive, and the price would be
$100.00 more for this card.  Hope this clears it up.

Oh man Eric, don't generalize when you talk about SCSI cards.  The card
you are talking about is the cheap OEM AHA2920"A".  Mine is the retail
AHA-2920.  Go read the post of the guy who responded to you. It not worth
$60.00, its actually worth $120 retail.  I'm just selling it for $60.00.
hehe. I figure just the ez-scsi software will cost you $50.00 at adaptec.
You get the card for $10.00 with software purchase :).  The buyer can look
the specs up themselves.  Its not like I can hide what the card is.  It
has full documentation and all retail box and packaging.  If you're still
doubtful, just come take a look at it.  I'll be glad to show it to you.
Cya.

sold.  thanks for the inquiries.
