- I think I'd opt for the Adaptec, yes, unless you can contact Ultrastor
- directly and verify that they have properly functioning OS/2 drivers
- (they've been working on them).
-
- Another adapter worth investigating is the Buslogic. They have native
- OS/2 drivers.

- I suspect you won't experience too much of a speed penalty, but your
- mileage may vary.
