Not True!  I have encountered all of the same problems mentioned regarding
failed installs.  However, I do have Interactive 2.2 installed and
running on both HP Vectra RS/25c and the HP Vectra 486.  The 386
Vectra is using an Adaptec 1542A controller on an HP 330mb Coyote.
The HP Vectra 486 is using the special "High Speed" ESDI controller, made
by Adaptec, on a 330mb HP ESDI drive.

My greatest frustration has been caused by the lack of interest on
ISC's part.  I haven't even received a return phone call saying 
"Thanks but No". :-(
