Hi, I did some experimenting using a RiscPC backplane and wasn't
successful, I later found that the RiscPC backplane would not work with
the Midi cards and Liquid Silicon's new drivers either.
A proper Iyonix backplane would be necessary. I thought I better set
this straight, as a while ago I indicated the RiscPC backplane seemed to
work to a degree. One other thing I noticed was that the SCSI module
that I left in boot>predesk upset the USB one day and I had to remove
it.
It has been shown that scanning with USB2 scanning is much faster, with
the occasional USB startup issue on the downside but easier cable
connection on the upside.
Cheers, Ron
