Cheap SCSI controller?

2002-11-12 Thread Gary Hennigan
Can anyone recommend a cheap SCSI controller? I'm putting together a little network server for my home LAN and want to attach a SCSI DDS2 DAT drive I have for backups. It's an older DDS2 drive so I think just about any PCI controller will be able to keep it's channel filled, and that's the only dev

Ughh. What happened to /bin/echo?

2002-10-08 Thread Gary Hennigan
