Thanks for the informative post, Terry!  If you have dealt with BusLogic, does
their support compare more favorably?

P.S.  In response to your Diamond reference in a separate post, I could never
subscribe to their "nonstandard" approach.  I prefer to work with Number Nine,
with Actix as a fallback card.  I'd consider Metheus, but can't seemed to get
feedback from anyone about them.
