Sounds fine to me. Like I said, that was what I thought, but apparently, I
was mistaken. Thanks for straightening me out on that. I'll look into
picking one up. And thanks to everyone else who has or is going to send me
feedback - it was suggested to me to buy a BusLogic FlashPoint (by an IRC
friend whose mom works for Mylex/BusLogic), except I looked at the docs,
only to discover it's unsupported. Again, thanks for the feedback.
