I have done the testing and working with US/Design Corp who is owned by
Maxtor.  They have a controller #4220 that has cache (512k or 1M) that
emulates an MD-21 and will support upto four Maxtor 760MB(u) disks.  The
SS1 and 330 both handle the 4220 ok (now) and you can easily futz with the
kernel to see all 4 lun's.  They also have a desk top/side box for it all.

	Phone - (301) 577-2880.

	I've also put 3rd party memory in my SS1.  Works ok fine.
