Subject: VLB IDE controller cards?
Date: 28 Sep 1993 14:24:38 GMT

Hi all,

My Boca IDE Plus controller card has just failed under warranty :) and
I would like to look into replacing it with a local-bus equivalent,
in the same price range, ie CAN$50-75 or not too much more. Does
anyone have any experience with any such beast? Can anyone recommend
anything? Bear in mind that I am a student running _deep_ in the red,
and no matter how nice a card costing only $200 is, I will probably not
be able to afford it. Tell me about them anyway, though, no reason not
to drool :) .
If anyone has experience in the matter, I _must_ get a card which works
in both linux and OS/2, so one which doesn't require a driver, or is
completely standard is needed.

Thanks,

Carsten
