I'd have to agree. I've installed 5 DC390-U2W cards in different
machines since September, and they're solid. I use the sym53c8xx
driver. I also appreciate that Tekram provide generous accessories
with the card (twisted-pair U2W cable, flat UW cable, flat U cable,
U2W terminator) plus lots of connectors. It's nice not to have to shop
around separately for these.
