I hear people complain quite a bit about their HD interfaces, but I have had none of the problems. I know someone who bought a Supra, and he says that he can't boot from a non-DOS disk, for example. Here is some information from the manual: Transfer rate (68000): 440KB/sec Power: +5v @ 3A (MAX) +12v @ 1.5A (PEAK, 500ma quiescent) SCSI interface connectors: 50-pin internal, 26-pin external On the inside of the case there is a Zorro II slot, so you can plug small A2000 cards into it. Primarily, this is used for IVS's outrageously priced memory expansion. The TrumpCard has good software, too, so that makes it quite easy to set up. -- Kurt Krueger | BITNET: kkrueger@unoma1 | //\ MBA student | Internet: kkrueger@zeus.unomaha.edu | \X/--\ M I G A --

I too have a Trumpcard 500 and am quite pleased with it's results. I am running it with a SyQuest 555 and have had no problems with it. Along those same lines....I know that you can add 2 megs of memory to the Trumpcard 500, but do you have to buy a board to put in it, or is there space to put the chips inside? -Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------- Richard Hagemeyer INTERNET: rhhageme@eos.ncsu.edu North Carolina State University All thoughts here and above are to be considered my own; Heck, no one else wants them! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------
