The Manager is a utility that SuperMac manufactured to manipulate the
software setable SCSI identifications of the DataFrame series of hard
disks.  This utility was also used to format, partition, and install/
update the drivers for the same series of drives.

I still have a DF60xp hooked up to my system for "files I can't quite
bring myself to throw away."  I've been meaning to look into the latest
version of the Manager myself, as I got a similar message when I installed
Sys 7.  Let me know what else you find out.
