Hi all,

	What do people out on the net know about SCSI drives for the AT?
I'm looking into either the ST138 or ST157 with the ST02 Seagate SCSI/FDC
interface.

	What I'm curious to know is, how does the AT BIOS know how to inter-
face to the drive if you have a SCSI port in the way?  Does the BIOS have
built-in code to recognize that a SCSI port is in the system (which I doubt)
or does the SCSI port look remarkably like a drive controller board (which I 
would also doubt).   Is it really as easy as telling the AT the drive parameters
and it all just magically works?  Also, I would like to continue using Disk
Technician+ with the new drive, does anyone have any experience at using 
Disk Technician with a SCSI drive?

	Thanks...
