  [ This isnt so much a reply to Larry as it is a general FYI message ]

  True, BUT not to be overlooked (ill mention it since no one else has so far)
  is the fact that with an adapter (like the Adaptec 4000A or 4070) you can
  run your ST-506 drive from the SCSI port. This is great for running drives
  with > 8 heads -or- for running up to 4 ST-506 drives off one 2090 ;-)
