Michael, (BTW Erik, My hands aren't trembling as I compose this reply.) I've been using a GVP A3001 accelerator & Series II controller and have six devices connected to it and it's working fine. However, I use a ribbon cable connected to the internal 50 pin header on the board and snake it out the back to each of the external drives instead of the D-25 connector on the back. When I do use that port I've had some problems, except for my CDROM drive, with it. Get a length of 50 conductor ribbon, the connectors and a crimping tool (try a local electronics shop but don't expect Radio Shack to carry the 50 conductor ribbon or connectors) and you can roll your own custom cable. It isn't too difficult to do and you can determine the exact length you need as you assemble it. Christopher
