I got 1.0 from Intel, 1-800-INTEL4U, I believe.  It still did not stop
the occasional hangs we were having on the card.

What is weird, though, is that since we replaced our WD ST-506 interface and
dual Miniscribe 72 MB drives with a Maxtor 8760 (660 MB or so formatted,
15 Mbps) and a WD1007-VSE2 controller about a week and a half ago, the ACE 
board has not hung even one time.  It used to hang once every day or two.
