Apart from being poorly documented, the aic7xxx series were physically
dodgy.  The first several revisions couldn't drive more than four devices
because some engineer couldn't figure out Ohm's Law, for instance.

I personally feel that they're popular only because Adaptec occupies a
position in the SCSI business roughly equivalent to that Cisco enjoys in
the network world.  I recommend Buslogic/Mylex cards (but _not_ FlashPoint
series).
