There is apparently a "program available" that will allow anyone with a PROM programmer to set up specific drives not already supported. I was also given phone numbers for local suppliers ... one of them would sell it for $45. leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr
