Do what I'm going to do.  Walk to each SCSI / IDE card vendor and ask them if
they support either / both product.  I'm going to see if waving money at cumana
will help lift the bloody NDA.  Okay, not much money, maybe, but if there's
more than one person doing it, they might get the hint.  Particularly if they
see not just a lost sale, but a sale going to a competitor.

No, please don't.  There are several people who are on both lists and
undoubtedly have their own opinions about which is better.  A flame war
about this would be tedious and change the opinion of absolutely nobody.
Besides, there are better alternatives than either... ;-)
