Hello Mark,
I will give it a try and see.
Also, I have a quantum Fireball KZ drive on this Ultra66 controller and was
wondering if this is the only controller that will work.
I there some type of SCSI controller that I could use instead, like one of the
AHA 15xx, or AHA 17xx cards.
I want to get away rom this controller card bu still use my Quantum drive on
the new controller if possible.
Cheers,
Lonnie
