If you don't need more than 2 SCSI devices you can use a DPT SmartConnex HBA (comes in ISA/EIASA and cahceing versions of each) which emulates a WD-1003x controller. Excellent performer. Word has it that DPT is soon to release OS/2 SCSI drivers also. We're using Adaptec HBA's in MCA Lan Server machines running OS/2 v1.2 (non-HPFS) and things work fine. No HPFS though... Anyway, if people need/want to get into SCSI now, there are alternatives. The DPT boards are top notch and are great performers.
