We officaly do not support any RRL controlers. We do know that some people
are using the RRL WD1006 and some are using the Adaptec. We have not tested
these with enough diffrent brand and type of drives to give them support.

The only combinations of drive controllers that work with ESIX are:
SCSI with st506 and SCSI with ESDI.

We support both interlaced and non-interlaced with this card.

We do NOT support two vidio cards in one system.

256 color X is being worked on, but if it is too slow on non-smart vidio
cards it may not see a production.
