- I am using a 1200 Micronik/Blizzard 1230-IV/PicassoII at present. I put
- this together two days ago, and it is working fine so far. I also installed
- an Oktagon 2008 to run a CD-ROM, a Syquest 270 and an old optical drive, and
- a 2386sx-25 bridgeboard subsystem. My buscard is 4.02, shipped in late Jan.
-
- The 1230-IV is the only accelerator card I've seen work with the Micronik
- buscard; the DKB Mongoose works partially, and the GVP is a washout. I
- recently tested a number of Z-II cards with the Tower and 1230-IV. As the
- Micronik manual says, DMA SCSI adapters do not work with an accelerator like
- the 1230. However, all non-DMA cards I tested and the 1230 seemed happy
- together. All other motherboard functions seem normal.
-
- I don't have a Blizzard 1260 to try, but I hear it doesn't work, and that
- Phase 5 is looking for the reason, because they originally had said its
- interface was engineered to match that of the 1230. I also don't have a
- Squirrel. Am interested in anything other folks have learned.
