	All:

		I came across a Future Domain compatible SCSI card and had
some questions.  This card is a Dandy-3400 which claims to be compatible with
the Future Domain card.  It contains the TMC - 950 Chip (Manufactured by 
Future Domain).  Although it looks like a 16 bit card upon closer evaluation,
it only uses a 8 bit data path (The additional lines from the 16 bit slot
seem to be for a wider range of interrupt settings).  This card only has two
settings, the IRQ line and the BIOS address range (additionally it can act as
a FDD controller).  Would anyone know anything about this card?  What port(s)
does it use?  It doesn't seem to use DMA transfers - is this true?  Is this
supported by Julian's drivers?
	I am also looking at the Always IN 2000 SCSI card.  How does this
stack up?  Is it supported by Julian's drivers?


Many thanks in advance,
