Hello,
	Talk of st01 and st02 controllers has made me curious about my current 
setup.  I have an ST-02 controller with and st296N 80meg seagate drive.
The current transfer rate according to the core test is in the neighborhood 
of 320k.  The drive also has REV 8 roms which I have heard are slower 
than rev. 7 ones (it was slowed down for the MAC is the claim I have seen.)
My question is What kind of performance can I expect if I can get rev 7 roms 
for the drive? Also what about a better controller?  I plan to run UNIX 
when I get the money so I was looking at the Adaptec controller.  Will it 
work with the seagate drive?
