Well, fine fact. The PRO level seems to be the one that doesn't require an ICD
host adaptor connected.

Besides, the combination AHDI 6.03 and HDX 5.01 works fine for any drive I
tried so far, on all machines with SCSI port.
This includes 128 MB Sony MO, 88 MB Syquest, various fixed HD drives.
Streamers will require special drivers for their purpose.

The only problem you might have on ACSI based systems is that Atari's software
cannot recognize 'big' drives (above ~120 meg) without a matching line in
the WINCAP parameters file. ICDs software will format and partition correctly,
without manual work.
