I am using a serial hard disk (MacBottom 20) on the printer port of a 512Ke
with 2MB of MacMemory, and running 4.1/5.5.  Can anyone answer the following
questions:

1) What is the name of the driver?
2) How many retries does it attempt on a read (or write) error?
3) Given a hard error, how does it proceed?  Any recovery?
4) Can the retry count be modified?  If so, how (where)?

Thanks a lot (in advance).

Gary
