I've heard good things about AdvanSys here and elsewhere, but I can't
say I found their web site very informative.  It doesn't even explain
what the differences are among the ABP-920, 930, 940, and 950 PCI
controllers (either that, or I was too dumb to find the proper page).

By the way, the 930 you recommend is flagged as "OEM only" on their
web page.  Did you mean the 920 (or 940), or do you have an OEM source
you wouldn;t mind sharing with me?
