I'll have to check on that, but if so and I can get it to work with
two cards, will this solve my currents problem of not being able to
use 32bit Diak & File access in Windows, and use the CDROM at the
same time. At the moment my hardrive runs at 1/3 of the speed when
the CDROM is enabled (i.e. No 32bit stuff) and It's realy begining
to anoy me...
