	I'd just like to jump in and add that I havn't been able to
get a 150 archive viper to work under AmigaDOS 2.04.  I have the
GVP Series II controller on my 030 equipped 500.  I have attached DAT
drives before (no problem)... but the Archive Viper is as likely to
lock up the SCSI bus as to work with it...  I managed to use BTN to
write a little bit to it... but  I finally just gave up on it.

Dave.
