Hello,
having bought that card myself, it seems to be OK if you don't happen
to run Linux ...
NMC is a subsidiary of Soyo Corp., and there is limited info on SCSI
adapters on Soyo's page (although not for this particular card).
Acard and Artop seem to be two names for the same company ... Acard
refers to the chip and Artop to the BIOS ... you can find them at
www.acard.com.
I haven't been successful locating a driver for Linux so far, so
please keep me informed if you are more lucky.
