I could understand recommending against Adaptec SCSI controllers (due to poor
support from Adaptec), but what's wrong with the Asustek one?  I've used that
and the Diamond Fireport 40, both of which use the Symbios 53C875 chip, and
had good results with both.

There's nothing wrong with BusLogic cards, but they're more expensive than
the Asustek, and I haven't seen any evidence that they are noticably better.

Cheers,
Eric
