The controller has a second board that looks as if it carries about 2Mb of cache. Does anyone know if these things just look like an ordinary controller, what jumpers will disable the floppy drives, is it capable of having its IRQ and i/o ports changed? (yeah, spare the arguments about how the memory would be better used on the motherboard, but the fact is the target machine already has all the memory it can take) I really hate babies. Can't stand e'm. The arrogance, the lies. They are not to be trusted. I hate babies. - D. Schwab
