I recently hooked up a Quantum 40S to my A1000/StarBoardII system.  I bought 
the drive from MacLand, and had it up and running in one evening.  The
Microbotics formatting and installation software worked just fine.

The drive is formatted FFS and I use the Microbotics FastMode option.
DiskPerf results were approximately 240KB/sec reads and 180KB/sec writes,
with 32KB buffers.  Not bad for a $100 controller!  The drive certainly
makes a difference.
