	Do you have a TMC-830 too?  Because I installed ISC 2.2 on
	a SyQuest 555 (dated +/- early 1989) with TMC830 and I got no
	installation problem NOR performance drawback NOR wierd OR
	stange new (special) effects with this kind of setup...

For gvokalek@augean.ua.OZ.au:

	I think: Your configuration of the TMC-830 may be the
	problem?  Because of a overlaped IRQ or wierd BIOS address...

For anybody:

	Does anybody have some infos on the perfomances and features
	of the TMC-860 (A 16bit, ISA 16Mhz max, SCSI-1) adapter
	from Future Domain?  I'm changing my WD7000-FASST2 by a
	Future Domain because of lack of a (good) driver for ISC 2.2!

	Thanks!
