*laugh* Well, at least my opinions are well-known.

Adaptec used to make decent equipment -- I liked the 1542 (although the -B
version of that card had some pretty serious problems).  It's the AIC-78xx
that has my undying hatred.

I used the APA-1460 in my laptop while it was still alive.  It uses the
same chip as the 15[12]0, so it's moderately trustworthy.
