Can some point me to a review of the Compaticard IV, or provide their own
review?  I am looking for a new floppy controller capable of handling four
drives.  The Compaticard looks like it has a few extra bells and whistles
(like boot from any drive), but it also mentions being a Quad speed controller
for faster data transfer.  I thought all floppy controllers pretty much had
the same throughput (slow :-)).  Since its roughly four times the cost of
a generic four drive-four type controller, I would like to know if its really
worth it.

Thanks for any info.
