I haven't had any experiences with this particular card, but I have
one or two things to say about SCSI-cache cards in general (I don't
know if the DayStar card is just a cache card or not): Don't get one
if you're hoping it will speed up your compiles, because they don't.
If you don't believe this, try the cheaper alternative: turn your
Control Panel cache way up and watch your performance go down.
