I looked through the drivers on that site at one time, but didn't find any that fit
my hardware so didn't try any.
I use all Acomdata or Vantec enclosures (prefer Acomdata though) so it really doesn't
matter about the model number. The older ones I use on the Win 9X system are no
longer sold, but the newer models that are still around should work the same, but
the newer models may cause problems on a USB1.1 system no matter what drivers you
use. I have an Adaptec USB 2 and Firewire card on my Asus P2B-DS system that has
been really stable. The cheaper cards really gave me fits, including scrambling
the data on the drives when they decided to disconnect so it was worth the extra
20 bucks for the adaptec as the BX chipset in the motherboard seemed to like it better.
I haven't had corruption yet, but then I don't run the Win 9X system every day either
so it could be only a matter of time...
