I am looking to put together an MPC system with a sound card, a CD-ROM
and a 2G SCSI drive.  I know of three contenders in the sound card
arena: PAS-16, SB-PRO, and Turtle Beach.  I have heard that Turtle Beach
has no SCSI controller, SB has some proprietary CD interface, and PAS
has a Tantor 16-bit SCSI controller.

For my purposes, this makes the PAS card a good bet.  However, I am
wondering if anyone has used the card as a real SCSI controller for
devices besides a CD-ROM.  Specifically, has anyone used it for a 
large hard-drive (e.g. >1G).  What drivers are necessary to make this
work under Windows 3.1, how much do they cost, and from whom can I 
purchase them?

Thanks in advance for any info.  Please e-mail responses.
