- Not exactly, the A3000 controller IS SCSI II. What it doesn't support is
- SCSI Fast addition to the SCSI II protocol. I get somewhere in the

- I am not sure. But I kind of doubt that Emplant would have put a SCSI I
- controller in the Emplant board given the time it was made (The A3000 had
- SCSI II and it was made back at beginning of the decade.)
