David,
Using the NEC drives with Adaptec Micro channel cards should not be a
problem. The problems we've had with NECs are with the Adaptec 1740 in
enhanced mode. A warning though, the Adaptec 1640 (their MCA card), can
only address 16 megabytes, so if you ever plan to move to a PS/2 with more
than 16 Megabytes, you'll need special drivers, and you're performance will
drop off. You might want to consider the BusLogic line of cards instead.
We sell toshiba drives, and have found them to be very reliable in a wide
range of environments.
