Sounds about right..

Now here's a thing, I have an Eyetech buffered interface, supposedly a "MkIV"
one - the later, 060 compatible version. It works fine with OS3.5 and has done
since I first installed. I also have an interface (correction - had) from KDH
Datentechnik which on it's own (without the PIO 3 enhancer activated, I never
got that to work which is why I've sent it back for a replacement) also worked
fine with the OS3.5 updates.
They're both marked as being manufactured by Individual Computers. Maybe
these are the good ones?
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has a definitive list of working and
non-working interfaces. Obviously the standard - to give them a proper name,
IDEfix - interfaces work fine, but who made the others?
Is there an Elbox line? Do any of the PowerFlyer's work?

It's SKIPROMUPDATE actually. I keep making the same mistake, it's damn annoying!
