I understand that *now*, however, years ago, when I purchased the 
card, that wasn't made clear.  They claimed the card would read a 
whole slew of different disks, and write to a bunch of them, but 
failed to mention there weren't any drivers to allow this :^(

OTOH, I gather that the PCI version is now supported by at least a 
couple emulators, which makes it rather interesting.
