AFAIK (from the ads) the Blizzard cards (at least for the A2000) COME
with the SCSI-II on-board. The I/O module (I think) is for the Cyberstorm.
Yeah, the ad (6th paragraph) says "On-board Fast SCSI-II DMA Controller"
Also, i don't think the Blizzards have the expansion port the Cyberstorm
does. That just means I won't be wanting to buy those, too. Although
EtherNet would ne nice...

Luckily (?), I won't have the cash until after January, so I guess I'll
be getting the cheaper one :)
Thanks for the information on the 060s. I can't wait until I can afford
one! (and the Flyer is finished, and LW is released for the Amiga...)
