From article <173@dtix.ARPA:, by jmoore@dtix.ARPA (Jim Moore):
: If you can mount the Supra drive without Supramount, 
: why does Supramount now exist?

	So you can mount all the drives at once... No need to do
a seperate mount for each partition. Most of the users who're buying
hard drives don't really want to have to build mountlist entries and
do lots of editing to the startup-sequence. SupraMount allows them
to use a hard drive with minimal hassle.
	Note that the newest version of the Supra software allows
you to select (during the format/zero process) whether you want each
partition mounted with SupraMout, or whether you want to manually
mount it. That way you only need to mount those seldom used partitions
when you need them... (Assuming you have enough disk space to *have*
seldom used partitions! :-} )
