Yes ! A guy from the area users group just brought over a new Xetec fastcard plus (2000 confiuration Zorro 2). It just sat there trying to reboot indefinitely, and wouldn't recognize that there was a SCSI driver attached, either. My hopes are now much lower that the DATA-Flyer coming from Briwall will do any better. At least they promised I can return it if it won't configure. With the new chip set out, I'm having second thoughts about adding a MMR on here. Maybe I'll just wait 'til I can cough up the $3500 for a 4000 and a new monitor. In the meantime, Preferred Techologies says that the Blizzard board should work elcetronically with the Rejuv. but it won't fit "space-wise". Perhaps a tin snips taken to the shielding could take care of that. $200 to add a little bit of acceleration and some memory wouldn't be too bad. From the ever hopeful A1000 upgrader, Paul
