Locally builders are selling Tyan Thunder 2 at a discount over buying a
comparable board with an adapter.  It has two 68 pin wide channels and one
50 pin narrow so it is effectively an Adaptec 3940 UW. It also supports
dual pentium II cpus, which is nice
to keep for a rainy day.  It uses the LX440, so if your thinking 100 mhz
you need to look elsewhere.  Check out

Subject:        [PCBUILD] New SCSI server: advice?

I'm looking for a new PCI server, price around GBP 700+VAT, to replace an
old ISA 386 that runs terminals under BSD Unix.  I can get an EIDE
system fairly easily at that price and add SCSI later, but..

The question is: is it worth getting a motherboard with SCSI built in from
the start?  I don't think Tom's hardware page covers that sort of value
judgement.  Any quick opinions would be welcome.  Purchase imminent.
