wow - thanks for that video. i found it very helpful. yes ASPI a likely culprit.. not sure if there is a way around that in 64bit os.. Personally I maintain a small xp machine on (micro-itx with an adaptec scsi card) so i can communicate with my old scsi devices. i just vnc into the box to control it so i don't need a monitor/peripherals. it works well and doesn't take up any real space so i'm happy wit that as a solution
