Especially since there have been rumors (are they more than that?) about
HierDA not always working quite right.  Personally, I use a pretty old
version with my 2.5Mbyte Plus and UnScrolly (YOW!  What a useful, small
tool!  Did you know it behaves correctly with SCSI Tool 2.0!?)
and an ever-growing list of other Inits.  Occasionally, the cdev I
asked for doesn't appear--get "General" instead.

Great tool, tho.  Especially nice for running straight into the menu
item you want in a big DA.
