	I just got a Quantum 80-meg for my Amiga 1000, and it's great,
but I do have one minor problem: I'm running a Supra controller, which
uses the infamous (memory-wasting) SupraMount program to mount the
disk, instead of the standard Mount command. Now, with my old hard
disk, I did have a MountList entry that got along with the Supra
controller, and I was using Mount rather than SupraMount with complete
success. However, the Quantum docs show that the Quantum has two zones
on it, with different numbers of sectors/track in each zone, and I
don't know how to write a MountList entry to accommodate this.
	I imagine I could partition the drive into two logical drives,
with the dividing line where the number of sectors/track changes, but I
don't want to do this. I like having one big partition, and I don't
want to have to reload the whole drive in any case. Can anyone give me
any hints on a MountList entry? Is anyone out there running a Quantum
80 as a single partition with *any* controller? If so, could you email
me your MountList? I think I could figure out a MountList for the Supra
from it.
