Has anyone used BOOTANY with an Ultra store ESDI controller with a 650M 
drive?  How about a list of people/machines that have gotten it working OK.  
I think there is a problem with some of the translating ESDI controllers 
whenyou start mucking about with the partition table.  I did the install 
just like I did on an IDE drive (it worked great on that drive!) but low and 
behold it was getting very confused.  You could boot partitions 1 or 2 or 3 
and do the DOS label command and it would change the label in them all.  Ie 
I think there was a problem with it figuring out the drive dimensions/
translation to use.  Ended up using the same sectors over and over.
