Since my last posting regarding my //gs with an Adaptec 4000
SCSI->ST506 bridge controller I've purchased a CMS SCSI
controller for my //gs, and although the partitioning is
not as flexible, it at least works properly. It somehow
got to me without a manual, so it's not configured properly,
but I do have a 32M partition that works just fine with GS/OS
5.0, and I'm now a happy camper.

My conclusion is that Apple's card has some serious defects which
keep it from operating properly with drives that do not cowtow
to the gods of Cupertino. I'll spare everyone a more serious
flame than that.
