I personally like it a lot , it does not support E-IDE but it does support
4 hard disks and allows you to specify which hard disk to boot from.

I have used it under DOS , WIndows NT , OS2 of which drivers it comes 
with.

Also the Windows 3.11 drivers work very well with windows 95.
The only issue you need to enquire about is does the board come with
memory installed on it , if not i'd say don't bother , the memory is the 
most expensive part of the board and the board brand new is not that much
more than 50 pounds.

The only difference that I can see between this card and E-IDE is the
lack of support for EIDE CD-ROM Drive it probably would not support 
one.

I use an ISA version of the card under windows 95 with 4 meg on the card
,it requires 70ns simms ,it is very nice running on a DX 4-100 with 16meg
ram. When I do large disk intensive runs you really notice the difference.

You may also want to look at www.tekram.com for more info.
