Are the TOS 1.4 ROM's available in the UK now, and if so, where?  How
much?  Can they be put into a (fairly ancient) 520?  I have been told
no, but is this because 1.4 is going out on bigger ROM's, or will the
new TOS simply not work with such an old machine?

Secondly, I have a Quantum 60 (100?) MB Hard Disk with embedded SCSI
that I want to use.  I've heard that Adaptec make a controller to
go to SCSI; what's its number, and where (pref. UK) can I get it
(how much?).  Also, the Supra HD software seems like a good thing
to get; again, where from and how much?

Thirdly, can I hang other devices off the SCSI?  Someone said that you
could get more than one *hard* disk going because of the way the Supra
driver deals with them; would it handle other SCSI devices in the same
way, or would another driver be needed (assuming it's at all doable)?

Thanks in advance.
