Quite well, thank you. I run an unaccelerated, HS SCSI equipped ROM 3 on my
desk and I'm happy with the performance. I run my proline on an
unaccelerated, Rev C equipped ROM 01 (I'd like to ditch the rev C though if I
can find a low dollar high speed card) and I have an unaccelerated, high speed
SCSI ROM 01 in a //e upgrade case for semi-portability. I have a Quadra on my
desk for when I need to do things quickly.

I wish my bud and I were using my unaccelerated Apple SCSI machines when we
were trying to boot off a server rather than a Zipped RAMFasted machine. We
couldn't get that to work.
