- I am running a 486 TriStar system with the VESA SCSI Ultrastor 34F controller.
- It works okay using the IBMINT13.add driver. Ultrastor has a beta
- driver (14addb4.zip or something) available through 'Hobbes',
- which seems to work as well--it has not seemed to crash my system noticeably.
- Note that the 14 series drivers are apparently interchangeable with the
- 34 series stuff. If you want info from ULtrastor, the phone # is
- 510-623-8955 (tech support). Hope this helps.
