VBRANDT@DBNUAMA1.BITNET (12/05/89)

Hello all,

   I received five requests to pass on the new ICD driver software!! I will
send out the stuff in  a few hours.  If you have asked me for a copy and
don't receive it by, say, wednesday, send me email.

   Sorry for not answering all of you individually.

Hello all,

In Info-Atari16 Digest, Ray Wallace (wallace@oldtmr.enet.dec.com) replied to
my query:

even show the READ.ME file in the archive, let alone extract it, and I jumped to
conclusions.

  What else is there?  Has anyone ever used SASI?  Also, can anyone recommend a
good, cheap embedded-SCSI tape streamer that can be hooked up to an ICD adapter?
