I'm thinking about getting a new Zeos PC clone. One option that this computer has is a SCSI port that is supposedly an Adaptec 6260 card. I don't know much about SCSI, but the sales guy (not particularly reliable) told me that it was 16 bit and SCSI-2 compatible. While Zeos makes great equipment, their sales staff is not known for their knowledge or truthfulness, so I thought I'd ask here: Does anyone have any experience using the Zeos optional SCSI port with a CD-ROM drive? Are there any known problems with that card (assuming that it is an Adaptec 6260)? Is the Adaptec 6260 16 bit and SCSI-2 compatible? Should I pay the $49 that Zeos wants for this feature or spend it on some other SCSI card? I don't yet have a CD-ROM drive yet but plan to get either a Toshiba or Texel drive in the next week or so. rb
