I have an A500 w/ a CLtd host adapter, an Adaptec RLL controller and a 
Seagate drive.  Recently it quit working, and when I tried to do a low level 
format, it gave me a "Unit Select Failure" error. :-( Is this likely to be 
caused by a faulty host adapter or controller?

As a result of this hardware failure, I am either looking for a solution to
my problem or another drive.  Is there anyone out there who is trying to 
sell a used drive for an A500?

I am sending this from someone else's account.  You can send mail either
to him or to my account (below).  Any info would be appreciated.

You can measure a programmer's perspective by noting his attitude on
the continuing viability of Fortran.
