I run an NCR but lately I had to down the machine and hang the
drives onto an Adaptec-Controller because the 

	NCR doesn't scan and remap bad blocks.

If you have a little DOS or even a simple Unix program that
will do it on the NCR then tell me where. (the DOS one will 
have to run without any special drivers, or come with them.)
I can also set different speeds on the Adaptec depending on the drive.

Other than those I prefer the NCR since it's simple and fast.
