I would like to thank Landon for his swift, and enlightening response to
my panic-stricken article. I havn't tried this yet, but it all makes
sense, and gives every prospect of solving the problem for me.

I only wish the documentation I have (dev system, abacus, etc), was as helpful,
and easy to understand as his response!

Now I can also rest, sure in the knowledge, that someone at atari has seen
my request (clarified nicely by <sorry I can't remember the name>@rochester)
for a REAL SCSI interface.
