heard of but drives. It haven't >studied it thorougly yet. There were a few XT IDE controllers back in the day. The one I still have is made by Acculogic, called the sIDE/16 or something. People who have used them claim they work well. Either this one was blown to begin with or the drive was at fault. It's mostly discrete logic, the exception being a GAL or PAL as I recall. There wasn't any firmware on it from what I remember. What did I do with the thing? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
