Well, you may be right, I automatically thought that as Microtek has their<br>
own windows drivers for that OnSpec chip, OnSpec has given them the<br>
information, but probably they at OnSpec have made an working driver and<br>
given just that to Microtek.<br>
<p>
Windows has "Microtek paraller port host adapter" in scsi-adapters, but if<br>
I look at the actual driver file, it says that provider is OnSpec<br>
Electronic, Inc. So you're righ, sorry Microtek folks.<br>
