    It's a SCSI card. You plug SCSI devices into it Probably does RAID too

    Those Adaptec cards weren't cheap when they were new... You might be able to Ebay it, more so if it's U320.

    Got any model numbers?

    Judging by the memory and PowerPC processor it's a SCSI RAID card. Probably Ultra2 (80MB/s per port) going by the PCI connector notches.

    A bit of guesswork there, though.

    No reason why you can't use it on a PC if your case is big enough

    Tis is true!!

    Right, the adaptec chips says:

    AIC-7880P
    AQEA723
    722511
    BC3048.1


    The other IBM Chips:

    07H1060
    RATTLER MMM
    9736155-B


    IBM
    POWERPC
    403GCX


    Think there is even a lil RAM chip.
    IBM 4MB
    11S1360QB-60M



    I know you guys, i bet you all know what these numbers etc mean. Thinking "Oh yes!, i know what that is...."

    To me, it's like speaking Wookie.

    The AIC-7880P is an Ultra wide SCSI controller (that's 160MiB/s.)

    The RAM module on the white connector will be for cache, the PowerPC for parity calculation and RAID management.

    Hang a few wide SCSI drives off it and you have yourself a RAID array... a pretty damn quick one too, probably, but its PCI connection would cripple it compared to what we have these days.

    Edit: Woo this is like a HEXUS.pipelines, but the wrong way around.

    Hardcore, I was right! We've used very similar cards at work. I want it, but I'll have no use for it seeing as I don't have any SCSI hard drives So just give it to me anyway and I'll ebay it
