I'm using an ICD Host Adapter/4000A controller with a seagate 225.  I was able
to install PC-Ditto 3 on my drive and boot pc-dos 3.2.  I'm using supra 2.62
boot software.  Hint: you need to write 1 file to the disk using the ICD
routines before the supra software will see the disk.  I don't have any thing
other than the GEM/DOS partitions to know if the ICD software support other
operating systems but wouldn't expect any problems.
