My thanks to all those who have responded to my SCSI and TOS
questions.  It would appear that Supra do a hard disk adaptor with no
other SCSI device support.  The guy I spoke to (Frontier S/W) said
something about a serious hardware problem when it came to streaming
tape.  Would anyone have any ideas about this?  He said that ICD's
streaming tape driver is not industry standard, and of course the ICD
guy (3rd Coast Technology) said it *was*.  Neither of them seem to
have SCSI 31/2" floppy drivers, so I guess I'll stick to my current
ones unless someone out there has some PD (or otherwise) software, or
I'll roll my own.  So, could anyone give me a hint on how to write and
install drivers on the ST?  Books, suggestions, tea &c. welcome.

Thanks in advance.
