	Version 5.x contains a BUNCH of new stuff. Volume optimization
a la DiskExpress, support for A/UX and ProDOS partitions in the same hard
disk, support for making multiple physical drives into one logical drive,
auto-timing of transfer loops to suggest the fastest ones on your machine,
comes with backup software (DS Backup), built-in support for SUM (can
create a SUM parameter file on demand for a partition), allows selection
of different drivers for hard disks, slightly improved user interface.

	The only catches are: A/UX partitions don't work (according to
Chuq) and it doesn't seem to like the Radius Accelerator on the Mac Plus
(my experience). But I've been using it on my Mac II with no problems,
and I like it.


	I speak as a satisfied customer of both Radius and LaCie (my
two alltime favorite hardware companies).
