- I have an UltraStor 24F (32-bit EISA w/cache). I'm very happy with it
- while running _DOS_.
-
- My 2 cents: if you are planning on running a real OS, I'd suggest that
- you first make certain which of the controllers it supports.
-
- Otherwise, if you just plan to use DOS, I'm not sure that the hassle &
- cost of a SCSI is worth the difference (if any) that you will see. Of
- course, SCSI tape, etc., would be a consideration.
-
- I've made more calls to SCO and UltraStor than I'd care to count....
