1. Some of the early model 2070 controllers from Adaptec did not work correctly with the ST-238. There was a bug-fix. Call Adaptec for details. Look in a Thomas' Index to get their number. If you bought a controller since March of '87 there is a good chance you have a good one. 2. ST-238s freak out if you mount them with screws that are too long and you thighten the screws like a gorilla. The mounting screws should only be tight enough to keep the drive in place. Use of a lock washer is recommended so that you don't have to torque too tightly to prevent loosening over time. I hate to play favorites, but the SMS OMTI-5527 RLL controller seems to be a particularly good match to the ST-238. --Bill
