	Life is good.  I got OK'ed for a student loan and my Tax returns are
going to be very nice.   Obviously, time to blow all this cash on a hard
drive! :-)

	I need some help.  I have an A1000 and am looking for a 60-80 Mbyte
hard drive setup.  I have some specific questions and would appreciate any
general advice/warnings.  First my questions:

	o  Has anyone purchased the Hard Drive packages offered by Abel
	   supply?  Any comments on quality or service and product?
	o  Is there any way to autoboot on a cold-boot? warm-boot?
	   (This is an _A1000_ with 1.3 KS on DISK).
	o  Am I better off shopping for components individually or should
	   get a package?
	o  Here is what I need to get: SCSI drive, A1000 SCSI controller,
	   SCSI cable, power supply, enclosure for the drive.  Is this list
	   correct?
	o  I have a StarBoard II.  Is the SCSI module any good?  I'm leaning
	   towards the Supra Interface, but am worried about SOTS problems
	   with both guys (SBII+Supra) plugged in, so may get the SCSI module.

	Any and all help is appreciated.  Thank You!
