started with a 1202 around 2016 then a DKB Cobra 40Mhz card. Bought locally it was a good solid card with FPU. Luckily it was the updated rom version.
Around 2020 I was interested in the icomp ACA cards for their SYSInfo CPU and RAM performance. Mainly because that was the trend in forums at the time.
IDEFix scsi patch rapidly enhanced IDE = HDD CF transfer times and also the Cobra rom has a serious bottleneck in that department, giving around 800kbs IDE speed while ACA cards were 2.2Mbs up to 4.4Mbs with IDEFix. The IDEFix hardware shows even greater figures up to 6-8Mbs.
It's hype though and I was caught up in the culture of it.
