It's called a misstatement... Both the WD-1007A and WD-1007V are ESDI
controllers. The WD-1006 and WD-1006V are ST-506. I've used the 1006 and
1006V under both Xenix/386 and 386/ix - work fine, the V being notably
faster. I'm currently using the 1007V with SCO UNIX. Works fine, though
I had to play with the jumpers on the board and on my Core HC90 to get
everything happy.
