1.  Some of the early model 2070 controllers from Adaptec did not
work correctly with the ST-238.  There was a bug-fix.  Call Adaptec
for details.  Look in a Thomas' Index to get their number.  If you
bought a controller since March of '87 there is a good chance you
have a good one.

2.  ST-238s freak out if you mount them with screws that are too
long and you thighten the screws like a gorilla. The mounting
screws should only be tight enough to keep the drive in place.  Use
of a lock washer is recommended so that you don't have to torque
too tightly to prevent loosening over time.

I hate to play favorites, but the SMS OMTI-5527 RLL controller
seems to be a particularly good match to the ST-238.
