	Think again.  I had so many problems with the 296n and the st02 (scsi
controller) that I returned them.  They were slow.  They were minimal
implementations of scsi.  They were NOT recommended for use under unix.  They
were not inexpensive given the performance.  In short, they were extremely
disapointing.
