I don't know why this is, as 16 x 150k/sec > is still not anywhere near the max transfer speed of the IDE bus. um...got anything else on that IDE bus? that would be why. IDE sucks, and I really need to get away from it...anyone know of any decent, fairly cheap (as far as scsi controllers go. i realize nothing's gonna actually be cheap) LVD or Ultra160 cards out there? Easy to get working with linux is always a plus, too... BTW I'd love to make it to a beer meeting some time...if you guys ever have them at a place that allows people under 21 I know someone asked about that earlier, but I didn't notice any response to it.
