My situation is a bit like yours.  Basically, Buslogic adapters
haven't been on sale in Norway since Mylex took over Buslogic.
(Adaptec and Mylex use the same distributor, which Adaptec reputedly
leans on.)  Seems Mylex has a job to do wrt. distribution...

I've now bought a couple of Tekram something-390 ones, on strong
recommendations, and they seem good so far.

The former sentence seems to rhyme better with "Mylex DAC960" than
"Tekram mumble390", if you see what I mean :)
