Like I said before the 16-bit 1680 card is not compatible with the
Future Domain 8-bit controllers and is not supported. The release notes
are very explicit about what cards are supported and the 1680 isn't
one of them. The Adaptec is a better performer than the Future Domain anyhow,
why not just get an Adaptec that works?
