I have to go along with Jeff, my Supra WordSync(TM) SCSI  controller
worked first time and every time after I made the necessary SCSI and
power cables for my Zorro I box  attached to my A1000.  Yes, I  said
Zorro ONE expansion box!

After going to the otherwisely dismal  World of CBM in Valley  Forge
last year and seeing a non-DMA, half-card SCSI controller at Supra's
booth, I got the  number for their  technical folk.   I talked to  a
Willie Brown about  stuffing their WordSync  controller into my  old
CSA Turbo Amiga  expansion box.   Mr  Brown was  quiet an  enjoyable
person to talk to and, after checking the diff's 'tween the Zorro  I
and II  bus  spec's,  couldn't  see  why  it  wouldn't  work.    The
salesperson, aware of  this situation,  said there  wouldn't be  any
problem (or restocking charges) for returning the board if it didn't
work with my  Zorro I  box.   Estatic at  this point  I ordered  the
critter.   Like I  said above,  once I  made the  proper cables  and
(mechnically) mounted  my  own  Quantum  Q40  into  my  Turbo  Amiga
enclosure everything worked just  peachy and has  every since!   The
access speed hasn't been all that shabby either!

P.S.  This should also work so you folks owning ASDG's mini-Racks.
