- Another EISA scsi controller for OS/2 is the Bustek SCSI-2 controller.
- Its features are:
- SCSI-2 mode (10Mbytes/sec)
- EISA burst cycle transfers
- Floppy drive connector
-
- It also has DOS and netware drivers. You will have to ask for OS/2 drivers
- as they usually give you a DOS version (!!). I have no idea about support
- for other scsi devices such as tapes. Does anyone else know about this?
