  I'm using a 1000, both of the 2000's I use have 2090As & ST251-1s.
I have successfully used Mount on the 1000, even though Supra said
it couldn't be done.  I saved about 100k, but when testing an alpha
program for a friend, my drive got a "Key already set error", which
I never got before.  I don't know if the program trashed the drive,
or if it got trashed because I used the Mount method instead of
Supramount[the program was _reading_ from the drive, not writing].

  Why?  I can mount with Mount or Supramount interchangeably.  The
partition information for Supramount gets written to the hard disk
[first couple of tracks], Mount never sees it, as it gets partition
info from mountlist.

  So, you've never had any problems using Mount eh?  Maybe I'll try 
it again.  Reboot times are quite a bit faster using
mount...Are you using the scsidisk.device in your mountlist?
