And if you are the reseller, Adaptec tells you to talk to the distributor. The 1542B seems like a good card, but the Bustek SCSI adapter seems equivalent functionally, at a cheaper price. I don't jump to different vendors to save $25. However, I can't see paying a premium to get lousy support. These days I'm installing Bustek cards. -- Chip Rosenthal 512-482-8260 | We was raising insurance premiums, ma. Unicom Systems Development | We was spreading fear of arson. | - Michelle Shocked
