- Well, in some cases you can't. The A2091 will not work the A4000 I've heard
- reported here, it needs a ROM upgrade. Also, several people had problems with
- the popular GVP Impact II host adapators, and GVP blamed it on the A4000,
- apparently. Also, DMA based Zorro II cards will have performance troubles when
- loading into the FAST RAM of the A4000. So, getting a SCSI host adapter for
- the A4000 that will work without problems isn't that trivial, it seems.
- Perhaps someone could post a list of host adaptors (with ROM version numbers
- please) that *do* work fine.
