If not, you could try tha Acculogic PCIpport/20. It's a 53c825-based card with the nice feature of automagic termination sensing. I still wouldn't use the 825 with a wide disk without testing it out for performance first, though. Does seem to work fine with narrow disks. -- Thor Lancelot Simon tls@cloud9.net Don't let your mouth write no check that your tail can't cash. --Bo Diddley
