Thanks Jochen;

that wasn't really what I wanted to hear...

I assume that since no drivers have been written for this device that =
the
required info hasn't been released by DEC, because I can't imagine the
demand for it would be so low. This is unfortunate; I have a couple of =
FWD
drives that I want to be able to use, and both the machines I have FWD
adapters for are not supported by free unix (FZTSA for netBSD and the =
FWD
adapter in my HP 735/99s).

Cheers,
