Is anyone familiar with the Stacker software or the Stacker 
software/hardware package?  This system is supposed to double your hard disk 
space, from what I hear, independent of which type of drive you have.  I 
presume that this is a compression system (since it comes in software only 
or combined with a "coprocessor board").  Price range at CompUSA is about 
$80 for software only and $140 for software plus coprocessor.
 
Specifically, I am considering this for use with two 65meg RLL drives 
(Adaptec 2372C controller). 
 
Any software incompatibilities known?  What about utility software like 
PCTools and Spinrite II?

My system is new to the net, so please either post responses (a lot of folks 
ought to be interested) or mail directly via 
menudo.uh.edu!nuchat!xcluud!dadstoy!terry.
Thanks.
