Gary, thanks a lot for your reply. I'd like to seek another advice then. For what I'll be using the card, a simple SCSI2 card would suffice just fine (I'll have 3 devices on it: CD-R, CDROM, and a scanner). If chosing *only* from the point of view of compatibility and stability, shoudl I get the 2940UW or 2940U? Would it matter at all? I figured 2940UW, because it seems that the card is newer, and I thought that it would be better. So, which way should I go: - save a few bucks and get a 2940U (which will be sufficient speed-wise) - or get a newer (=>better?) 2940UW (which is an overkill, since I have no SCSI HDs, and don't plan on getting one. I'm being a bit paranoid, because I can't use my current SCSI card with a CD-R under Linux, so I want to be sure that the driver for the card I get will be up-to date...
