Tom so this is the Laser 128 Drive port on a card? or.. a Liron card with
standard Smartport stuff on a card? the reason I ask welltwo reasons:
1 if a Laser then iirc do NOT!!!!!!! hook a Unidisk to it. that would do a
very bad thing.
2. Also, my eternal quest: Would THAT one work as a port for the HD20?
