- Yes. I called Bustek around the beginning of August, at which time they
- had beta disk device drivers available on their BBS. I understand that
- these have now graduated to non-beta.
-
- BUT ... the tech support person I spoke with said that there was no ASPI
- driver and no plans to produce one (!). Since I need the ASPI driver for
- a tape drive, I settled on Adaptec. Bustek said that their host adapters
- have worked with Adaptec drivers in the past, but they (obviously)
- weren't able to guarantee that this would continue to be the case.
