That's exactly what I'm saying.

I know the Rev C SCSI card doesn't support interrupts, but could be easily 
modified to do so.  I don't know about the others.  I think this thread 
started talking about these SCSI adapters.  They are extremely proprietary 
and every manufacturer thinks that his way of doing things is so top secret 
that nobody makes it public knowledge.
