I'm using a SupraDrive, probably a fairly early one. I don't see any
evidence of a clock in there - does anyone know if _all_ Supra drive
controllers had clocks, or perhaps mine is pre-clock era?

(And remember, it's a SCSI host adapter, which translates from Atari DMA (ACSI, Atari Computer System Interface) to SCSI, (Small Computer System Interface) not a disk controller... (love those nested parens...)) I had an old one, which I accidentally burned out, sent back to Supra for a replacement, and got one of the new ones with the clock in it. (For a small fee, of course.) I liked the old one better, it would let me use the floppy drive with the hard drive powered off. -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan one million data bits stored on a chip, one million bits per chip if one of those data bits happens to flip, one million data bits stored on the chip...
