  I'll second that emotion!  I've tried using the ASDG Minirack-C/2MB on the
Toolbox's pass-thru and it fails it's memory tests every time.  PAL grounding
didn't help me either.  The Xetec SCSI controller works on my system, as does
the MicroBotics 8-Up DIP/2MB (so far -- only had the memory for a few days).

  P.S.  The Xetec controller does work, albeit slowly, with maxtransfer set
down to 0x001FE00 (128K).  I woulda rather had a HardFrame, but MicroBotics
told me it wouldn't work no-how no-way with the Toolbox.
