WD has (at least) two versions of their 1007 ESDI controller; one of
them is only capable of a 2:1 interleave and should be avoided if at
all possible.  The later version is alleged to be capable of 1:1
interleave but I haven't evaluated one to verify this.

I'll be receiving an Everex STEP/33 soon with an Adaptec ESDI
card, and a DTK (or DTC?) as well for comparison.  When I've run
these two through their paces I'll post an update.
