Re: Are there any coming iSCSI HBAs? Preferably at 100Mb speed?

at 100Mbs you could definitly use software
and a plain NIC. You won't feel iSCSI :-)

Subject	Are there any coming iSCSI HBAs?  Preferably at 100Mb speed?

Does anybody know of any current or coming iSCSI HBAs which show up (to
the
BIOS) as ordinary SCSI adapters?  I'd like to drop such an HBA into
a
legacy computer and run a totally diskless workstation at home.

However, since it will be a home computer, I'm willing to operate at 100Mb
speed - I'm willing to eat the performance hit.  It seems to me that
somebody could make an iSCSI HBA with a 100Mb interface and make it
affordable for the home user (say, $50-$100).  Anybody know of such
plans?
