Received this guy as part of a recent bulk purchase. I've not heretofore used any of the ST01/ST02 cards, but find this particular variant somewhat interesting. While the Seagate family of 8-bit SCSI cards are somewhat limited, given the seeming lack of ASPI/CAM drivers, if you're simply looking to throw a SCSI hard-drive into an older system with minimal fuss (or CompactFlash card solution, as I'm generally wont to do), this late-model variant is a pretty reasonable option.
As far as hard-drive support goes, it compares favorably with its contemporaries, with features like extended BIOS translation (allowing for drives < 8GB), termination power, and an exceptionally short boot time.
Seagate, remarkably enough, still hosts a document that covers the features and configuration/setup options for entire ST01/ST02 product range:
ftp://ftp.seagate.com/pub/techsuppt/controllers/st01-02.txt
Despite the glowing remarks, I really don't have any plans for this card, so if you happen to have any interest (and any esoteric 8-bit soundcards for possible trade), let me know.
