T160 is 16-bit only, but good catch about the T130, I'll look for that, 
thanks.

3180 is 16-bit only.  3150 is 8-bit, so I'll look for that too, thanks.

But with a boot ROM I don't need drivers, yes?  As for Future Domain, 
they seem rare but any TMC-8XX seems like it will work.  All Ultrastors 
were 16-bit so those are out.

Thanks for the suggestions.
