i've never liked adaptec, windows or not.   bunches of their too-popular
SCSI cards even way back in the old days of 10-20MB/sec SCSI had sketchy
electrical specs on the SCSI bus and were way too sensitive to cabling,
termination, while the LSI stuff was just a lot more robust.   I'd take
a 53C875 or whatever over a 2940W any day.

always been an LSI fan, as far back as when they were NCR Tolerant, then
later Symbios.   And the AMI Megaraid line, too.
