if you're having trouble getting Adaptec to behave like human beings,
and their ability to be helpful persists in remaining `on back order',
i can put in a timely plug for the NCR/Symbios cards.  using
ngr@sym...'s Plan9 driver -- a fraction of the size
and complexity of Certain Others -- i've been pleased with the cards,
and the driver's performance.  it works very well indeed with our
4.5Gb IBM Wide Ultra Buzzword SCSI drive.
we've got one in our Plan 9 file server.
