- I have the Always IN2000 controller which does it all in the rom. Had no
- problem with adding devices to the system. At the moment I have a Maxtor 200Mb
- IDE drive, a Maxtor 340 Mb scsi drive and a Syquest 88Mb removable scsi drive.
- You do need to take some care with your memory manager, mine is 386max, so
- that the scsi controller part of umb is not available to the memory manager.
