IDB also makes a PCI card though I never used one of those. I could
stream over 600k/s from my M990 with the atc16. so this card held up
fine. That's as fast as the M990 would run. non-stop at 6250 bpi.

I have an ATC16:

Thanks, Tim--I'll have a peek.
Looks like a much better (but earlier) card than my Computer Logics PCTD. Has a bigger
FIFO, for one. The CL has a 512x9 AMD 7201 FIFO and while it fits into a 16 bit ISA
slot, uses only the IRQ lines from the "short side", so it's basically an 8
bit card. Has a Xilinx FPGA and a bunch 74HCT00 series glue on it, mostly buffers and
latches. 8 position unlabeled DIP switch--the tech guy at Chi said he thought it was to
set base I/O port address, but I think it also sets DMA and IRQ. 11 address lines are
connected, so there's no memory-mapped I/O either.
I wonder if mine will even handle the data rate from the Fujitsu M2444AC drive that
it's hooked to.
