Some time back, I bought a C-Ltd disk controller for the A1000. It runs as a SCSI controller. I also bought an ST506 <-> SCSI adapter from C-Ltd. Basically, I had lots of trouble installing the stuff. The adapter they sold me came with zero documentation, like where to attach cables and how to set DIP switches. I ended up spending about 4 weeks installing stuff, with lots of lost hair and long-distance calls to Kansas. Their score: (all on a scale of 1..10) software: 5 documentation: 4 hardware: 7 support: 4 price: 7 In general, if I had it to do over again, I'd buy another SCSI controller, but I'd try another company. (Even if it cost more money.) Hope this helps... -- Happy hacking! with Standard.Disclaimer; --Ada --JR (John Rogers, JohnRo@Microsoft.UUCP) #include "disclaimer.h" /* C */ UUCP: uunet!microsoft!johnro // EXEC DSCLAIMR JCL
