Which of the abovementioned SCSI controllers would you prefer?  What are their
functional differences, if any?  How much does each one cost?

(I have a choice of getting a new Adaptec, or a used WD7000.)

And while I'm at it, here comes another question:  What or the differences
between floating point co-processors from Intel, Cyrix, IIT and whatever.
Specifically I'm interested in the 80387/33MHz compatible processors. The
Cyrix processors seem to be advertised at a lower price, but how about
compatibility and performance?  Can I just plug one to my motherboard which
has a socket for 80387?


Thank's for help
