   Recently, I picked up a used StarBoard II, which I am really happy with.
However, I also recently bought a stardrive to go in it.  I was thinking -
'Hey, this is one of the cheapest SCSI controllers on the market, I can pick
it up now and use it untill I can afford a HardFrame or something...'
    However, it won't work.  When I try the supplied installation software,
I get a OpenDevice failure requestor that says it cannot open the 
stardrive.device.  Huh?  I noticed that the device driver is one of the 
expansion-directory types, where you have to issue the BindDrivers command
to load it.  When I say binddrivers, though, the device does not appear to
load.  (I checked with eps.  All my other device drivers are there, this one
isn't.)  Anybody with a starboard have a clue?  Someone from Microbotics?

                           Help!
