What I cannot figure out is how you got the Wangtek, Bell Tech Controller, and
XTC driver to work. I have tried the combination under Bell Tech, first
release; Microport V/386 (last two versions), SCO 2.1.1 and 2.1.3 /286, 
SCO 2.2.2 /386. All that I got was a long long wait while backing up. This has
been with a variety of controllers and drives.
