The Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 Ultra160 SCSI controller enables 
you to connect up to 15 SCSI devices—such as hard disk drives, 
scanners, and CD-ROM drives—to any Intel-based computer 
with 32-bit or 64-bit PCI expansion slots. You can connect newer 
Ultra160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the two 68-pin Low Voltage 
Differential/Single-Ended (LVD/SE) connectors. You can also 
connect legacy SCSI devices to the 68-pin and 50-pin internal 
Single-Ended (SE) connectors.

Although the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 is a 64-bit PCI card, it 
also works in a 32-bit PCI slot. When installed in a 32-bit PCI 
slot, the card automatically runs in the slower 32-bit mode.
