I have a Sardis controller.  The software installation was so easy
that I found it a little condescending (run the following programs
and scripts and you will wind up with a bootable disk (double
sided if you like)).  The controller does give no-halt performance
with no problems that I can detect.  There's some stuff in the manual
that suggests that I will be able to put more RAM on the board and
use it as a cache for the disk.

The CoCo's habit of ignoring everything when it was using the disk
offended me.  I am glad I could cure it.
