By the way, I'm also considering an upgrade of my HD driver board sometime
in the future. I want autoboot, no DMA contention, better setup software
and documentation, elimination of the need for OFS partitions if possible,
and support of SCSI devices other than standard hard disks.
The ones that seem to have the biggest following are the HardFrame (which
was my original choice) and the WordSync. According to tests I saw, the
GVP seems a little slower. Also, friends who have very fast 68020 or 68030
boards (there may be a '20 in my future) say that the old Kronus controller
was the best, although it's now unavailable. Apparently there are a lot of
contention issues when you have an accelerator.
Needless to say, I would want it support (in hardware and software) the
Konica 10.7MB drive. I think the Supra and Trumpcard controllers do. Any
preferences for any particular controller?
