- What a shame, they should rewrite HDToolBox so it works. It won't work with my
- A2090a (but I don't really mind 'cause it's the firmware ROMs that are due for
- upgrade) and it don't work with mi ICD AdSCSI2000 either. With the ICD it just
- scans the bus, and when it should report that it found a SCSI device on one of
- the valid addresses it just locks up the whole machine.

- Solutions anyone?
