Folks...

I'm trying to find any programming information on the Chicony CH-300
Scsi Controller.  The docs point to it possibly being built by Artop
Electronics.  Any pointers to that company that you have would be
appreciated.  I called Chicony but got nowhere -- no one's left from
the motherboard business which also must have been in charge of the
controller business.

The chip's got some Artop numberring -- so it's either custom or
may be a private labelled version of someone elses chip.

Surplus software seems to be getting a bunch of these in.  I don't know
of any OS/2, Linux, BSD or Windows 95 drivers... 

Although the docs mention that drivers for SCO, OS/2, Xenix and Unix
are "avaiable" -- the card's an unknown.

Anyone ever see such a beast.

I bet there was some nondisclosure on this card.  Anyone ever heard of
Artop Electronics.


Thanks for the help...

Bill
