There again, we've got a "too new for Vintage" situation.
These cards on their site won't run on anything less than
OS 8, and are designed for modern Mac use.
What are our chances we can find a nubus card that supports only one IDE
drive designed for the 68040 class of Macs running that range from 20 to
40 Mhz.?
