The board uses the Western Digital WD2840 LSI chip and seems VERY neat ... I wonder if anyone has any experience of this board. I'm considering the purchase of the startup kit (3 boards, two cables, two terminators) from Percom Data Corp. (The board is also manufactured by Western Digital under license.) PS: I wonder if you could send me another copy of digest 2 #90 because we had a network glitch that dropped every 128th (approx) character from the original copy and reconstruction is a royal pain - thanks? ...
