Has anybody used the AMPRO SCSI/plus adapter, particularly on something
OTHER THAN an Ampro little board?  Especially on a DEC VT180?

I'm gearing up to put hard disk on my VT180, a classic "closed" Z80/CPM
system, and this is the best-looking approach I've found yet.

Also, how likely am I to find "scsi-compatible" disk controllers that
won't work with this adapter?  And how likely am I to find "ST506"
disk controllers that don't work with some particular "ST506 compatible"
drive?  How careful do I have to be choosing my pieces?

Is there any hope taht 
oops tHAt the DMA chip option will work with my
existing system?  What is it likely to conflict with?
