[comp.sys.amiga] ST-296N problems with Starboard SCSI controller.

Has anyone ever devised a "hack" of a driver to get the ST-296N hard
disk to work with the Starboard SCSI adaptor?  I heard that it
wouldnt work, and I also heard it would work.  I called Microbotics
and they said they were working on the new driver for it, which wouldnt
be released for a few months.  I really want to get the 296N instead
of the 277N, because of the extra space.  
 
Even if only a flaky driver has been slapped together by someone,
let me know.  I have to purchase this drive soon.

If anyone knows more about this, please post responses here.  There
are others of us who would like to know, too.  Thanks...
