Hi Ana. I was wondering, with you knowledge of all the gobs of confusing hardware out there, if you knew anything about SCSI II FAST VLB cards. I've seen Future Domain, Bus Logic, and Ultrastore flavors. First question: Does VLB offer any improvement in data transfer for SCSI? Does it provide 32 bit, or just ISA quality performance (I know it was designed for vga, not drive control)? Second question: If answer no. 1 is yes to any degree at all, then what is my best bet for ASPI compliant cards (something the drivers will drive!), for instance, does Adaptec make a VLB configed card? Thanks in advance John Tissavary, La Luna cie
