There aren't very many E100s but there are quite a few JackHammers. 
I think the bottleneck is that no one has documentation for the 
workings of the SCSI chip used on the JackHammer cards.   It would be 
nice if the company that took over Stream Logic would turn loose of 
that info.  It's not like they're ever going to use it again.   Or if 
there were an ex-Stream Logic or FWB employee around who could leak 
it to the Mac community...
