Hi there,
I saw an interesting offer for an EISA system which includes a 330 MB SCSI disk
and the Bustek EISA-SCSI controller (742). Now, that there is a Adaptec-1742
I would really like to get this one. However, this would add to the cost
of the system. Now, my question is whether these controllers are compatible.
I know that the Bustek and the Adaptec-1740 will work with OS/2 2.0. What I
don't know is will these work with Dell or Interactive UNIX and 386BSD-UNIX
and especially the Adaptec-1742 with OS/2 2.0. In other words, is it worth
the trouble and cost of changing the Bustek-742 to an Adaptec-1742 ?
Please, post or e-mail your experience. Because others may be interested in
this, perhaps posting is not a bad idea. But, if this question was asked
several times in the last weeks (which is entirely possible), just mail me
the last summary, etc.
Thanks,
Norbert.
