  I have not had any problems running with the Vectra, Dell, or
homebrew. I have installed Xenix, ODT, ISC (old version, 2.0.2??), and
two versions of V.4 beta. One V.4 wouldn't install correctly on
anything, so that's not an issue, all other versions worked very well on
the EISA models.

  All were using WD compatible controllers, 1003, 1006, 1007 in various cases.
