Hi Ian,

No Econet, just a couple of old hard drives, including one E20 which has the 
Rodime SCSI but it now has quite a number of corrupt sectors and I am down 
to just under 20 MB.

I also have a standard (3.5" HD) ST506 Adaptatec unit.

I am hopping to update to Jonathan Harston's units soon.

Best wishes

Raf
