Hello, The June issue of the Byte magazine has an ad about the DPT SmartConnex scsi disk controller card. Has any one seen/used this card yet? Can you answer the following questions for me? Thanks in advance. o Does it support the CDC WREN series? o Does it have on-board cache? o How about tape drive support? (It it a disk controller or scsi controller?) o Can it coexist with MFM disk controller like the WA2/MM2 series? o Can I have two drives on the MFM disk controller together with SmartConnex? o Can the system boot from that card like AHA1542 does? o Is there a floppy interface? o Any software driver/utility supplied with it? o Any comments? The card is to go in 386 machines running s5r3.2. Thanks again. Wei Jen Yeh yeh@cs.purdue.edu Department of Computer Science Purdue University West Lafayette, Indiana
