Alows up to seven SCSI devices off the one card, internal or external, around 170 bucks for the card. LJ> b) best scsi drive (must be approximately 300mb) The ones I know of are made by seagate in 330mb, 360mb, 660mb, 1.2gig sizes, the 660 and the 1.2 are novel certified drives. Maxtor makes several in the same size. Difference is Seagate has a one year waranty and Maxtor has a two year waranty. Prices are about the same starting at a little over a grand for the the 330 up to a around 3 grand for the big 1.2 gig drive. All are full height 5.25" drives. You will have to shop around for those kind of prices as those are close to wholesale quotes that vary from month to month. LJ> c) info on changes to be made to windows *.ini files in order to get the LJ> combination to work. Well none that I am aware of, since switching to the IN-2000 card any SCSI troubles I had went away. The key here is that it is a 16bit card vrs a 8 bit card. I am sure others out there may have other experinces with the SCSI world and PCs/Windows 3.0. Hope that helps you out... 73 De Jeff, CEO/SysOp Jaguar's Networking Labs (303)377-2371 --- XRS! 4.00+DV * Origin: Jag's Point Place, QBBS 2.75g HST/DS, Denver (Quick 1:104/477.1) -- ============================================================================= Jeff Tensly - via MetroNet node 200:5000/301 The Bohemia BBS System, Boulder Colorado (303)449-8946 UUCP: Jeff.Tensly@p1.f477.n104.z1.METRONET.ORG or : ...!boulder!bohemia.METRONET.ORG!1!104!477.1!Jeff.Tensly =============================================================================
