Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Adaptec 29160 PCI to Ultra160 SCSI Card Kit with EzSCSI Software

Top positive review

This card will read old OpenVMS disks from 20 years ago.

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2014

I was looking for a scsi card that would read my old DEC Alpha VMS disks. The disks were the old scsi disks ie 1GB and 4GB RL26N AND RZ29B. Not only did this card read the disk faith fully, I was able to boot the disk copy using the emulator that I had loaded into windows. This card loaded up into windows 7 (64bit) with no problems, Adaptec software drivers worked with no problems. I have not used the EZscsi software as I had other software to use. This products allowed me to move forward in restoring old software development software. It worked right out of the box, no configuring needed to be done. I am ecstatically happy!

One of the caps was knocked off the motherboard so I returned it. I picked a different card and it worked well. Return was easy. The vendor handled it well and I bought the replacement from them.

Was new and in box as promised. Revived an older high volume scanner when the other 29160 bit the dust after 8 years. Great deal too!

12 years twelve years of uninterrupted use, has been one of the best purchases, my old PC still works, not like now, but it is worth mentioning that thanks to technology that I used at that time even joy of their benefit, but is only used to browse and check my social networks, the SCSI card handles my HardDisk without apparent fatigue.

I steped up from the the older 2940 on a 450mhz machine to a 800mhz with the 29160. The processing speed for accessing data was 20 times faster. I'm very happy and upgrading my other development machines to this product

The Adaptec SCSI card was easy to install and worked fine with all my old equipment. I did have to buy a conversion cable to use it with old equipment but they all worked well.

I recomend this card for any one who is still using SCSI equipment
