I'll post it again. For those who want SCSI controllers for the 
A500/2x00! Commodore's controllers are faster. With the A2091 (currently 
shipping versions, with the bug free WD SCSI chip) it's about the same 
price as the GVP Series II SCSI, and it slightly faster. I think to only 
faster Amiga SCSI controllers that are faster are the DMAC chip in the 
A3000 (Lots of $$$$$) and the TrumpCard Pro. (slightly less $$$$)
