Hi!  Some time back, I bought a C-Ltd disk controller for the A1000.
It runs as a SCSI controller.  I also bought an ST506 <-> SCSI
adapter from C-Ltd.  Basically, I had lots of trouble installing
the stuff.  The adapter they sold me came with zero documentation,
like where to attach cables and how to set DIP switches.  I ended
up spending about 4 weeks installing stuff, with lots of lost hair
and long-distance calls to Kansas.

Their score: (all on a scale of 1..10)

	software:	5
	documentation:	4
	hardware:	7
	support:	4
	price:		7

In general, if I had it to do over again, I'd buy another SCSI
controller, but I'd try another company.  (Even if it cost more
money.)

Hope this helps...
