Here is question that I would really liked answerd. I have a supra SCSI
interface with a ST-277N Seagate hard drive attached to it. (Got it from
the big guy in RED) anyways.... after I have attached the drive to my 
Amiga 500 and try to boot in the software it locks up. I have removed the
auto boot rom from the interface as I am using 1.2 rom in my amiga.
If I boot with workbench 1.3 the workbench boots but I just can't get the
amiga to reconize the drive is there. If I try to use supra format
I get a WAIT for the mounse icon and the machine seems to lock up.
Any suggetins would be appreciated and needed.................
