Please e-mail me, not the list, the makes and models of any NCR-based controllers you are using/know about in the following format: make,model,chipset,termination (active/passive),on-board BIOS (yes/no),comment for example: Asus,SC-200,53C810,active,no,URL: http://www.asus.com.tw/FTP/ASUS/Info/Spec/pci-sc200.txt DTC,DTC3130B,53C815,active,yes,URL: http://www.datatechnology.com/ (Gleefully stolen from Rod's and Richard Foulk's postings of yesterday.) Obviously, I won't be able to compile them all but it should be helpful for those trying to buy one of these from a clueless vendor who doesn't know what parts his cards are made from (better one should patronize a cluefull vendor, like Rod Grimes, for lots of reasons but that is not always possible). I will summarize this information for the list and submit it to John Feiber for inclusion in the handbook. Thanks, Glen Foster
