[comp.periphs.scsi] Future Domain controllers

a516@mindlink.UUCP (Jordan Melville) (12/11/90)

I recently bought a Quantum PD210S 210Meg SCSI hard drive. I was
pleased until I noticed that the controller card (a Future Domain
TMC-885) conflicted with my VGA card, and forced it into 8 bit mode.
What I'm wondering is what problems I would encounter if I switched to
a true 16 bit card? Would it be a simple swap-and-boot with no
problems, or would I have to reformat the drive?

Reply by Email, I'll post a summation if there are enough requests.

Jordan.
