I've used both the Adaptec 4070a and Omti (forgot number, but it'd the 
functionally equivalent unit to the 4070a) with a C-Ltd non-Kronos 
controller under SCSIDos 3.0.  Both worked well, with the OMTI being 
quite a bit faster, and providing a bit more "SCSI compatibility" in 
that it will at least identify itself.  Both SCSI adaptors were 
interfaced to Okidata OD-540 RLL approved drives and worked fine.
 
I even ran my BBS on the Adaptec/Oki system for about a year (until the 
drive got too small).  Then I put both drives and adaptors on my son's 
A500 and they worked without problem.

The Adaptec 4070/Oki combination is now in use on our club BBS and is 
working fine on an A2000 (KS1.2/WB1.3) with a Supra controller.
