Does anyone have any experience with the Spirit Technology hard disk
subsystem which uses st506 drives for the A500?  Just exactly what type of
drives will this controller work with?  Does anyone have some benchmarks?
How does its speed compare with typical SCSI controllers?  Any info,
experiences, or anecdotes about it would be appreciated.
