It took less than two weeks for me to get our sequencer code working on the aic7870, I would expect less for the aic7850. You can contact me at Walnut Creek CDROM (1-800-786-9907) if you're interested. I would, of course, send the MB back to you as soon as I was done with the work. The MB would have to have a CPU in it of some sort though, since I don't have any spare. -- Justin T.
