No need.  You are getting controller types mixed up.  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.
