Is this a problem specific to the A2090A controller, or will all SCSI
controllers have this problem with a Segate drive?

On a related note...does anybody have good things to say about the Pacific
Peripherals Overdrive?  It seems to be the least expensive DMA SCSI controller
of the bunch, and I would like to know how well it compares with the GVP Impact
and A2090A.
