Jim,

   I received my MM/1 last August. No, I didn't receive the update disks with
the I/O board. I have downloaded newer drivers from the Ocean BBS and the
latest driver update from dl12 here. I noticed the mask number on the scsi chip
is 08. I was able to get the Seagate formatted with the new drivers from the
Ocean BBS and the hard drive is pretty fast (seems to be about as fast as the
IDE drive on my 386). I talked to Paul today and he said the update disks
should be going out soon. I think he said Mark G. had the master disks now. He
also said he received the Quantum drives today and just finished printing a new
catalog.

   I've put about 4 megs on the hard drive (a ST138) and tried FHL's hard disk
backup program fbu. Using the command line: fbu -$=dir-ur -b=1024k -d=/d1 itt
took
 6 minutes and 28 seconds to complete the backup to previously formatted
diskks. And this is using a relatively slow hard drive and without the newest
scsi drivers. All in all, not too bad.

   Got ot go play some more. Type at you later.

Ernie.
