[Empeg-general] OT: Can anyone recommend a good NIC or SCSI card?

[yn0t_@empegbbs-noreply.merlins.org]

These two requests are only marginally Empeg related...

I'd like to get ethernet connectivity between my PC (Windows 2000) and my Empeg.  I have an old crappy Intel EtherExpress card that doesn't work under Windows 2000.  So I need suggestions for a cheap ethernet card.  I'd like it to work well under Win2K and Linux, since I run both of those from time to time.  Hopefully from a company that provides current drivers.  Any suggestions?

On a slightly related note, I could also use suggestions for a goof SCSI card that works well under Win2K and Linux as well.  Neither my Adaptec 1542 nor my Future Domain cards are working out.  I don't need tons of features, UltraSCSI or anything, just a relatively inexpensive card with good drivers.  My faulty SCSI cards are causing my CD rips to die in the middle, which is very annoying.

Thanks for any recommendations.
