	The BMS board comes with driver software that includes
formatting, partitioning, and head parking programs.  The drivers are
supposedly 100% compatible with the Atari drivers (I haven't had any
problems yet), and will also support the Adaptek 4000's capability of
controlling 2 disk drives if anyone wants to use that option for added
storage.  In addition, programs for using the clock on the DMA-->SCSI 
board are also supplied.

	Thanks for the comments re. the file limits.  May the Force
guide your fingers as you punch in those bug-fixes Allan!

	Happy 1987, everyone..
