    SCSI card support in 3.0 is nonexistent, as the aic driver hasn't

I would like to contest that.  In some of the work I do, the ability
to hook up a tape or Jaz drive on the road has been of *critical*
importance to the work I do.  I will agree that my work is unusual,
but the ability to show up to a DOS-only shop and say, "OK, let's try
reading the tape directly and see if we can guess what the format is,"
is a real lifesaver.

    OTOH, I also have an Iomega Jaz Traveler, and I tend to use it by
    preference (it *is* supported in 3.0).

Duh...what's a Jaz Traveler?
