Does anyone have experience with the KONAN 1050 (Scottsdale, AZ) fixed disk
controller for the IBM PC/AT and compatible computers?  I am considering it
for use to solve a real time programming problem where the 8237A controller
(motherboard DMA channel controller chip) conflicts with the bus timing for
standard Western Digital type fixed disk controllers.  I would appreciate a
brief summary of your experience with this controller, pricing information,
and purchase source information where available.

I would also appreciate similar information for other fully buffered and/or
cache based fixed disk controllers available in the marketplace.  Tallgrass
is one possible source ... however, I don't seem to be able to find them in
my computer supplier directory.

Thanks, AJ Annala, USC Neuroscience Program
