<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Hi folks,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I'm contemplating buying the ACARD AEC67160 Ultra160 PCI controller</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> which comes with an internal and external Ultra160 LVD </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> connector (which</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I understand is a 68 pin connection in the same style of Ultra Wide</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> connectors). What I want to know is whether I can connect my </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Ultra Wide</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> devices using either the supplied LVD connector or a normal Ultra Wide</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> connector. Is LVD backwards compatible with Ultra Wide devices?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Sorry to sound a bit blank about this sort of thing, but </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> after all this</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> talk about SCSI, it's made me want to get it on my system and </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> give it a go.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I do not know if you are still trying to get the above working but I have been unsuccessful in getting a 50 pin CDR UW and a LVD u160 HD to run on the same chain. I checked last night to ensure that they are both operational and they are. I am resorting to buying another lead on Saturday and keeping them on separate channels.</FONT></P>
