    New 8-bit ISA SCSI Card - ASPI driver needed

    Nice work! It's great to see storage cards like this being cloned. I'm not familiar with this manufacturer, at all, unfortunately. I know, and used, many other SCSI vendors' products, but not this one. - Alex

    Midwest IBM Model 5155 "suitcase" Portable XT
