 As far as I know the VST UltraTek/66 is the only ATA card that has

Jeff -

Thank-you for these comments, as well as for the snipped out ones.
So far, from yours and other's feedbacks, it seems I should not have a
problem with the 5-card combination that I will end up with (with the
addition of
the Radeon and a non-VST USB card.)
Thanks, in particular, for the warning on the VST card.
That is very helpful.

One item I am not sure of is the Initio Miles (UW) card.
But it seems it could remain in slot 1 alongside the Radeon 7000 in slot 2.
The others I can keep in the lower slots.

So.....potentially I have the following combination.

Slot 1 - Initio Miles (if necessary).
Slot 2 - Radeon
Slot 3 - MachFire Firewire (where it currently resides.)
Slot 4 - Tempo ATA-66 (moved out of slot 2)
Slot 5 - A USB-only (not VST) card.

The Ultimate Rez 8mb non-Apple card will migrate to a 7500.

I guess I will start a thread on USB-only cards.

As for a G4 upgrade, can't decide between the Sonnet or the remaining
stock of
XLR8 Carrier card, which is becoming scarce.

Cheers,

Alan
