Sorry to post, but I cannot e-mail direct to bitnet.

In respnse to Tom Claydon's [Bitnet astlc@alaska.bitnet] question,
I have the CLtd A500 controller (the old non-autoboot one) and am generally
pleased with it.  There are some problems with the latest version
of their SCSIdos 3.0 -- the low level format programs will NOT work with the
A500 controller, which requires going back to SCSIdos 2.6 for low level
formats.  3.0 operates fine, you just can't do LLF's.

Diskperf gives me 160k reads and 65k writes -- 
on a slow 65ms Seagate -- satisfyingly faster than floppies.
