   I am currently using a Maxtor XT4380E 480 megabyte ESDI drive with my
   ST.  The adapter is an Emulex MD-21 ESDI <--> SCSI adapter card.  This
   baby cooks......
   The driver I use the the Supra V2.6 driver selecting the 'other' for
   controller and disk type.   Works fine, however I can only use 190 megs
   of the disk for TOS.  The rest I have written some special code to use
   as archiving and other stuff.
   Later,
