Hi,
	I am currently using the "Always IN2000". I have a 150 MB SCSI
disk (Maxstor (sp?))on a 386/25. No problems. I am using the setup for
win 3.0 development. Not being "PC literate" it seems that there is a lot of
disk i/o ... but as I say it works fine and installed fine.

But ... I am returning the controller in exchange for an ADAPTEC. Since I
also want to install SCO UNIX, I prefer to have a fully supported 
SCSI controller. My current understanding is that the ALWAYS has a xenix driver
... but you need to install it *after* UNIX is "up" ... not much good if your
system disk is on the Always. The Adaptec is going to cost more $'s.

Cheers,
Sanand
