I have a Starboard II connected to my A1000 and I'm thinking of adding
the Stardrive module so I can hook up a hard disk.  I assume it isn't
the faster thing available and that's okay.  I like the idea of not
adding another external box to my machine.  Here are my questions:

(1) Does the Stardrive autoboot when you use 1.3 Kickstart/Workbench?

(2) Microbotics has only tested a couple of drives.  Is there a more
    complete list of drives that other people have already tried?  (I'm
    interested in those that *don't* work as well as those that do.)

(3) How fast does it go with the FFS?  (Any numbers you've got will be
    appreciated.)

(4) Where's a good place to go for the drive?  (I'm in the Bay Area, and
    I don't mind if the price isn't rock-bottom as long as the service
    is top notch.)

Thanks in advance,
