The nice thing about SCSI is that the controller negotiates the best protocol with each device. This means that you can mix narrow and wide, SCSI-2 and Ultra SCSI on the same controller. The only restriction is that the total cable length is limited to to most restrictive type (Ultra SCSI right now). I have an IWILL Motherboard with onboard Adaptec 2940U (not wide) controller. I have an IBM Ultra SCSI disk, an IBM wide SCSI-2 disk, Archive SCSI-1 tape drive, and Plextor SCSI-2 CDROM. Everything works perfectly. -- Russ Poffenberger Engineering Specialist Schlumberger Technologies ATE DOMAIN: [log in to unmask] 1601 Technology Drive CIS: 72401,276 San Jose, Ca. 95110 Voice: (408)437-5254 FAX: (408)437-5246
