Reading from the 1990 catalog: The AT-style SCSI adapter (25-4161) costs $350 and the Micro-Channel SCSI adapter (25-6060) costs $500. (Okay, they actually cost 5 cents less.) The change in price of the AT-style adapter (was $300) supposedly comes from some new functionality that allows it to work with more 386-mode DOS programs. I cannot really see a reason for the increase since the board design was also cost-reduced. (Perhaps it is selling well enough to be sold at a higher margin.) In any event, XENIX/UNIX systems should not see any differences."Thank you, Uh Clem." Frank Durda IV @ ...decvax!microsoft!trsvax!uhclem ...hal6000!trsvax!uhclem
