I'm confused. AIC-7800 has nothing to do with controlling floppies. You still need a

Dig back on the list for the discussion last year talking about John Wilson's efforts
at building a floppy controller in an
FPGA, my request for a PCI version, and how getting that to work on 'modern' PC
hardware is difficult.
Do you know if the AIC7700 tests similarly well?
It might be useful
to have a PCI card that works with ImageDisk also.
It seems to? I haven't explicitly compared it with the 1522. AFAIK the PCI cards are
all AIC7800 - I'm only aware of EISA and VLB cards.
