Well I think those odds are good enough for me ... I didn't want RAID,
the Adaptec support person said "just disable that on the card"

To be honest this card would be a sledge-hammer to crack a nut; I just
want a "simple" host adapter with external scsi so I can plug in an
external tape drive and do a super-tar backup of this machine.

It's not a critical machine by any means, backups are done of
source-code and data are done by backing up to an image file and then
ftp'ing that onto another box - whilst not ideal, it's ok for what's
on this machine.

However going forward, I want to install OSR6 and put in place a
backup device.
