After long, long last, I finally broke-down and bought a HD for my A1000 (an
external 105 Meg Quantum from Hard Drives International for $399).  I will be
interfacing this drive to my A1000 using a C-Ltd SCSI adapter.  The document-
ation that I got with the adapter (obviously its old seeing that C-Ltd is no
longer in business!) describes setting certain flags in the Mountlist for this
device.  For those of you with experience with this device, I have two
questions:

1.  The documentation states that the version number of the SCSI.device
driver is specified via the flags in the Mountlist.  The version of SCSI.device
that I got with the adapter is 2.01 which the instructions say you code as
setting the appropriate field to the value 1.  I was able to download a newer
version of SCSI.device (version 3.0? or was that 3.1).  If I want to use the
newer version of SCSI.device, what value should I include in the version field?

2.  Another question dealing with setting the flags in the Mountlist involves
the Driver Number field.  The distribution disc has only the driver
"ACB-4000.driver" which is described as a generic interface for SCSI drives
and is optimized for the Adaptec 4000 series device controllers.  Is there a
newer and/or better device-driver that I should install that will work with my
Quantum drive?

If you can help, please send e-mail to the address below.  Many thanks in 
advance to all who reply.
