- With the standard ROMs, the AMI controller is NOT compatible enough
- with the Adaptec for NT. You can order new ROMs that fix the problem
- for the price of shipping, from Washburn & Co. (716-248-3627)
-
- The only problem with the replacement ROMs is that the controller will
- *always* be in compatibility mode -- which is SLOW compared to its
- native, 32-bit mode.
