I also own a Jasmine DirectDrive 140 and like it very much (have had it for 3
months).  I have version 1.9 (or something like that) of Jasmine's DriveWare.
Two things I would like to point out, Jasmine's Driveware is faster than
Rodime's, and it also supports REAL (read bootable) SCSI partitions.  Not to
mention the fact that it was made for your drive.  I have not used Rodime's
driver for anything more than speed comparison so I don't know how it rates
in the long run, but I much perfer Jasmine's.  Also, all DirectDrives are
to be formatted at 1:1 since they have a cache and they are plug and go on
a Plus (what I have) an SE or a II.  I would put the drive back to 1:1 if you
put it on 2:1 since that was not how it was written to run.  Other than that
you should enjoy the drive.  Let me know what you think of the drive and
using the Rodime driver.
