Thanks, Tim--I'll have a peek.

Looks like a much better (but earlier) card than my Computer Logics PCTD.  Has a bigger FIFO, for one.  The CL has a 512x9  AMD  7201 FIFO and while it fits into a 16 bit ISA slot, uses only the IRQ lines from the "short side", so it's basically an 8 bit card.  Has a Xilinx FPGA and a bunch 74HCT00 series glue on it, mostly buffers and latches.  8 position unlabeled DIP switch--the tech guy at Chi said he thought it was to set base I/O port address, but I think it also sets DMA and IRQ.  11 address lines are connected, so there's no memory-mapped I/O either.

I wonder if mine will even handle the data rate from the Fujitsu M2444AC drive that it's hooked to.

Thanks,
Chuck
