I don't actually know either, but from looking at their BIOS/driver
updates, I get the impression that ASUS does use the Symbios SDMS.
Anyone with an SC875 wish to confirm/deny? :)

I don't currently have any external devices, but if I ever get any,
they'll probably be narrow. I've already got an ASUS SC200 (53c810) that
I'm planning on keeping though, so I'll just use that for external
things...  BTW, the Diamond FirePort 40 is another 875-based card with an
external narrow connector.

Yeah, wide cables seem to be quite expensive :( Does the Tekram's wide
cable have enough connectors for two drives? (i.e. at least three
connectors total). If it's only a single drive cable, I'll have to get
another cable anyways...

Thanks for the info! :)
