I just ordered one of those $60.00 Adaptec 4000A controllers from Timeline Co. The salesman said that it was a special run of the controllers that Adaptec made for an OEM. He said that they are printed A4010A on the chips but that they are really brand new 4000A's. Has anyone bought one of these, and is it really a 4000A? ========================================================================= | Jeff Long jlong@blackbird.afit.af.mil (ARPA net) | | | | humble (and getting humbler by the day) graduate student; | | The Air Force Institute of Techology (what a great way of life??) | =========================================================================

It works great. The only difference is that the connectors point in different directions. Howard C. Johnson ATT Bell Labs att!lzaz!hcj hcj@lzaz.att.com

I just got one of these a week ago (Though I haven't tried it
yet), and on one chip is printed ACB-4000A, 1985, So they can't be too new.

I bought the Adaptec controller from Timeline a couple of months ago. I use it with the Supra host adaptor and an (aging) CDC Wren I. The Wren's seek rate is pretty dismal, but as a whole the package works fine. I suppose it's a real 4000A. That's how I set the Supra software.
