     I have a CMS 140K external Hard disk attached to a Mac Plus, and after
installing SCSI Accelerator and rebooting, everything seemed OK. HOWEVER, as
soon as I loaded an aplication, the Drive light came on, and ran forever! I 
rebooted and found my Drive was thrashed! Doesn't boot, can't be read etc.
I was able to recover the drive using MAC ZAP!!!!!
I then retried SCSI Accelerator with a blank disk( read as only the Apple
supplied system) and experienced the same symptoms!!! Forever this time was a
measured 3 hours, at which point I restarted and the drive was once again dead!
     I do not have an explination, but would like one if anyone has any more
info! I would also like to have a version that works on my large CMS Drive!

     SO, I STRONGLY reccomend that you only test SCSI Accelerator on a drive
that is completely backed up!!!!!
