  I've been using the Fastlane on my A4000/040 with current kernels.  It
seems to work quite well if I disable reselect.  Someday I may get
ambitious and try to figure out the driver and see if I can determine
what it's doing.

  I've written an fsck_ados-like program.  It only verifies the integrity
of the filesystem and reports things it finds wrong.  [After an early
experience with DiskDoctor, I do my disk repairs manually with a sector
editor :-).]
