Thank you Rich.

I saw that the LSI 3008 can be put in IT mode, as with the well known 2008.
Firmware & drivers seem to be well maintained, with a P13 release last month.
2 good points.

However I did not found much much user feedback on it, nor recommandations.
There should be no surprise compared to the 2008, but we never know...
