Help! SCSI Card

[CNU182]

Hey, I have a PCI Logic SCISI card

all i know about it is it 53C875/53C876

and it also says under device manager XMASSCSI SCSI controller

anyone know what this is, or what i can do with it, or better yet if it is worth and $$?

[John Prophet]

you mean you have a seprate scsi card? or you mean something in your device manager says "scsi"...cuz sometimes stuff shows up in device manager as "scsi" when it isnt actually a scsi card etc.

do you have any scsi hard drives? if not a scsi card wont do you much good

i have the actual card

is it worth and mmoney?

[John Prophet]

are you sure you got the right brand name??

do you see any other words on it etc?

does it have an "fcc id" # listed on it?? with an fcc ID# you can look up the brand and model etc

----

basic scsi cards arent too expensive nowadays so its hard to say....of course it could be a decent card

53C875 is LSI's UW-SCSI chip, the 876 being the dual channel version. www.lsilogic.com for proper drivers. For today's SCSI hard disks, UW-SCSI is quite a bit too slow though with its 40 MB/s bandwidth.

The XMASSCSI SCSI is for Alcohol 120%'s virtual CD drives.
