Can someone elaborate on this a little? I'm also interested in building
such a configuration on my 250 4/266 Alphastation (if it ever arrives),
and would like to know of any problems that anyone have experienced.
I'd like to know which FWD SCSI adapter works at this time, and when
will the new FDDI card be available.
