Well the problem is that I already use a squirrel and want to use the PCMCIA
port for an ethernet card. I already have a ethernet card on my ateobus, but
I haven't been able to get it to work with Genesis, Miami or MiamiDX,
therefore I am looking at alternatives. As long as the Apollo SCSI speed is
no worse than the Squirrel speed then I would consider it.
