I have an SMD controller from National Memory Systems on my IBM PC.
It is controlling a Century Data Systems AMS315 (285 megabytes formatted)
and it works great. I checked out the card from Interphase Corp. but
found the NMS card better because it allows you to select the DMA channel
you want or the I/O addresses for that matter. That way the potential for
conflicts with network controllers is reduced. The NMS card also contains
a built-in SCSI controller, although I haven't used it.
One problem with
the NMS card is that it uses the NEC 7260 SMD controller lsi chip. This
chip will run fast enough to keep up with standard SMD drives, but not
with Fujitsu Eagles. I don't know about the Interphase card on this matter.
