I've used B.A.D. exactly once with my 2091.  It worked just fine.  With
all the controversy ("...works great!"  "...trashed my ##%@@*
drive...") surrounding B.A.D., I had done a complete backup just minutes
before.  Had I not done so, well...  So, that's a 2091, Quantum drive
(stock C= setup), FFS, on a 3 meg machine.  B.A.D. version 3.11.

Another poster, bscott@pikes.Colorado.EDU (Ben M Scott), stated that
version 4.0 is on the way.  I guess I'll upgrade when that becomes
reality.  Say Ben, since you're so close to those guys, could you find out
if I'm still on their registration list?
