    With apologies to our many Adaptec friends here in FreeBSD-land, I've been
    quite pleased with my Tekram DC390W for over 4 years now:

    sym0: <875> port 0xd400-0xd4ff mem 0xf2000000-0xf2000fff, 0xf2800000-
    0xf28000ff irq 10 at device 14.0 on pci0
    sym0: Tekram NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-20, SE, parity checking

    This controller and the associated UltraStar disk drive have migrated
    across two different systems with me and have been flawless. I have a
    DDS-2 DAT drive and a Zip drive (!) on the SCSI-2 bus and the UltraStar
    on the wide bus.

    Are you certain the added expense of SCSI is worth your money compared to
    ATA100 or 133? The other drive on this machine is a new Western Digital
    80GB at UDMA100 and it is quite fast.
