   Hi Rick,   
      
   yup, shipping is cost prohibitive over the pond. But the DPES-31080 is   
   also available here. Currently, there is a DSAS-3540 in my P75. However,   
   it is not recognized. When I boot from the reference disk, it finds the   
   SCSI adapter, but when I go to the SCSI configuration page, I get a   
   message that the adapter is not available. A new autoconfiguration does   
   not change anything. The hard disk is terminated, the 3 term packs are   
   set on the mainboard, but no terminator is connected to the external   
   port. Could this be the problem?   
      
   And maybe I get a late Christmas Present from Peter:-)   
   Cheers/2
