    Wow, am I out of date!  I am using XCO V1.17 which seems pretty old
compared to the newest version.  However, I received XCO for free when I
bought my Supra HD controller and Quantum HD.  That was only about 4 months
ago, so the version bundled must have been old when I got it.  And, yes,
I am only creating OFS disks.

    Any info on upgrades?
