anyway...as far as the vulcan card ...prob never get to it but was wondering......
 
 
Alright, but that confuses me - why on earth would anyone want to use a Vulcan controller UNLESS they want to either keep their Vulcan setup in it's original condition, or if it's the only controller they have (or can get)? The Vulcan controller, even with Gold, is a slow and clunky proposition. It's drive table is seriously constraining, and it's not even 100% IDE compatible. Yah it was great back in the day...
 
I can "get it" if a collector is keeping his system intact. Heck, I'll admit the Vulcan power supply is actually pretty darn good... I have a Vulcan ea in one my IIe and GS machines - but only because they're theme machines. I've called them the Applied IIGS and Applied IIe - sort of a pun play on Apple and Applied Engineering... anyway, those machines have nothing but AE parts in them. Otherwise, I wouldn't use a Vulcan controller for anything.
