Just a warning here. Watch out if you have a SCSI drive and you
install QEMM. It walked all over my 660 MB drive (Adaptec 1542A controller).
After waiting on hold for >30 min, Quarterdeck tech support told me to try
EXACTLY the sequence that trashed my disk in the first place (it's clearly
documented in the manual). After I explained that this was not an acceptable
workaround (once was more than enough, thank you), they told me that I should
get a driver from Adaptec. I'm undecided whether to track down this driver or
just toss QEMM into the circular file.
