Re: DAC960 and SRM trouble
ok, I pulled the card, and based on the symbios 53c720 chips this is not
an ultra wide card :( Good thing it was quite cheap on ebay. I still
would like to know why this behaved as it did, since I still want to
find an ultra wide controller that actually works (and boots).

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
-- Theodore Roosevelt
