Heck, a sad day for storage overall! Adaptec has swallowed up yet another
customer-friendly SCSI adapter maker. See:

While not directly related to classic computing, I know a lot of us use
more modern systems for numerous duties, and I know I can't be the only one
using DPT's 'legacy' products from the early 90's. Anyone care to wager
what Adaptec will do to DPT's well-stocked FTP site, or their support of
said legacy gear?
Adaptec, from what I can see, is getting dangerously close to turning into
the Micro$haft of the SCSI adapter world.
(Kai, if you're reading this... I'm sorry. I know you work for MS, and I
want you to know that I don't hold it against you in any way, but I think
everyone on the list knows how I feel about Billy-boy and his Evil Empire).
