dude, my gosh, had no intention of squeezing it into a
W2K box. Was hoping it would function as a hard disk
controller (kinda figured it was proprietary though,
not unlike the scsi cards Iomega supplied for their
ZIP drives).
While on the topic of old scsi's, which hard drives
wouldn't be compatible with an 8-bit scsi card?

I've seen plenty of these. They're very basic
cards, designed as a dedicated interface for
SCSI-based HP scanners. They have no BIOS or
firmware, and I question if they will work with
anything outside of the original HP scanner support
software.
I would, admittedly, be curious to know how a
Windows 2000 machine reacts to the installation of
such a card. I believe the 53C400 is supported, but
I can't recall for certain.
Happy tweaking.
