- I need some serious advice. I have a Vulcan 40 meg. hard drive which
- is pretty slow. From what I understand the Vulcan Gold upgrade is a
- new controller that increases the speed. I think heard some bad
- things about the Vulcan Gold though. That guy in Germany put an add in GS+
- for his Turbo IDE card. I've heard it's supposed to be pretty good
- but it's expensive. The Vulcan Gold upgrade goes for about $50 mail
- order but this guy wants $159 for the Turbo IDE + $24 for shipping.
- So, if the Vulcan Gold is good and the Turbo IDE isn't much faster, I
- would just as soon go for the Vulcan Gold. I would appreciate if
- someone could fill me in on the details of both cards and maybe do a
- comparison. Also, how much faster are these cards than the standard
- Vulcan controller?

- Thanks in advance,
- Joe
