  12. Well, 1 combination that ReOrg doesn't handle is an old CLtd non-autoboot
  13. controller and 2 MFM drives with an Adaptec controller.  It gets to the
  14. *last step* and punts, leaving the disk unusable. (I had backed everything
  15. up, so I didn't experience the pain and frustration of lost data).
  16.  
  17. After that experience, I am a little leery of using it on the A3000 until
  18. after my next set of full backups.
