>> Does anyone have any experience with the Oktagon 2008 SCSI II controller? Yes! As I have developed it, I am using it for many years now. >> I'm thinking of adding new SCSI II controllers to both my A2000 and A3000. Why to the A3000? >> Does the manufacturer still exist? Yes. I am in "charge" of the Oktagon Software for AlfaData/bsc. >> Are there any better solutions you could recommend, etc? I will not comment on this, cause I am involved with the product <g>. It has some nice features like the configuration EEPROM which will ease things a lot, like changing reselection for units without RDB, changing the controllers SCDI-ID, etc. Further, the software is and will be frequently updated if any problems show up. However, the Oktagon (and the older ALFIII) are out now for over five years and after some problems at the beginning it is working very well now, even with very strange SCSI units (Scanners, DAT, Streamer, Syquest, Tahiti-Opticals, CD-Roms, Harddrives, etc.). The actual ROM version is 6.8, but ROMs 6.5 and up work very well. Please check for ROM 6.5 or better before you buy one. Oliver
