RS> Are you saying you cant set LBA on the last two drives ?  Again, too

No, I can set LBA, in the "advanced setup".  I can also set the
mode (4) and one or two other things (block mode?).  However, what I CAN'T
set in the "Advanced Setup" or the "standard setup for
drives" is the PARAMETERS for the 3rd and 4th drives.

PE> When is Merlin due to be buyable?

RS> IBM never says definitively. They are currently flogging Warp

EXCELLENT!  I can get two for the price of one then.  BFN.  Paul.
