       Supra is making this same claim for their WordSync controller.
       I bought it at WOC, mainly because it was cheaper than most of the
others the dealers still had left....
       I'd like to give it a speed test with my 28ms st157n, but diskperf
asks for too much memory.  I've heard of, but not seen, something called
devspeed, which is supposed to do better on a 1 meg system.  Anybody know
where I can get it?
